Germany’s Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM), with a fleet of over 670 vessels under management, will enter the next year with a new chief executive.
Ian Beveridge is handing over the position to the company’s chief financial officer, Sebastian von Hardenberg, who joined the Schulte Group in 2005 and served as BSM CFO since 2015.
“I am honoured by the trust placed in me and look forward to the challenges and opportunities ahead. The shipping industry is undergoing fundamental change. Issues such as digital transformation, increasing decarbonisation requirements, and the shortage of skilled workers are having a lasting impact on the market. I look forward to driving BSM’s strategy forward during a time where transition and constant change are essential,” von Hardenberg said.
Beveridge will remain CEO of the Schulte Group and chairman of the BSM board.
