Wong Liang Pin is appointed a Chief Financial Officer from the beginning of April taking over from Ken Crambie who is leaving EPS after 13 years.
Rajeev Ahuja, currently Commercial Director, LPG and Ammonia, will take on the role of Commercial Director, Tankers and will relocate back to Singapore later this year.
Commercial responsibility for the Gas segment will be taken on by Øystein Kalleklev, who was recently appointed Managing Director of CoolCo and Commercial Director of EPS Gas following the completion of the merger
Cyril Ducau, Chief Executive Officer of EPS, commented, “These leadership changes reflect the next phase of EPS’ evolution. As we continue to ramp up our operations and as our fleet reaches a unique scale in our industry, our organisation must continue to adapt, strengthening segment accountability while maintaining rigorous group-wide discipline.
“I would like to thank Gak Yong and Ken for their exceptional contributions over many years. They have each played an important role in shaping EPS into the company it is today. At the same time, I am confident that Thomas, Liang Pin, Rajeev and Øystein will continue to build on these strong foundations as we enter the next stage of our growth.”
