Christian Plum on Tuesday (10 September) announced his departure from his position as Head of Bunker Management product at StormGeo to join as A.P. Moller – Maersk (Maersk) as the Head of Fuel Supply Planning.

Plum was the CEO of BunkerMetric, which was acquired by Alfa Laval in 2022 to be merged with StormGeo 

In his new role, Plum will be leading a team to optimise fuel supply for Maersk’s global fleet, focusing on everything from demand forecasting to integrating the latest green fuel regulations. 

“It’s an exhilarating opportunity to contribute to Maersk’s net-zero target by 2040 and work on groundbreaking solutions in the shipping and energy sector,” he said in a social media post. 

“I’m particularly excited about exploring how mathematical optimisation can drive more efficient fuel strategies and ensuring that our vessels are fuelled in the most cost-effective and sustainable way possible.”

“Maersk’s commitment to innovation and decarbonisation makes this a truly special opportunity,” he said. 

Plum also bid goodbye to StormGeo in his post and reflected on the journey that began seven years ago when he co-founded BunkerMetric. 

“We developed BunkerPlanner, a software designed to revolutionise bunker buying, which later evolved into S-Insight Bunker Management after its acquisition by StormGeo – part of Alfa Laval,” he said.

“Over the last 2 years at StormGeo, I’ve had the privilege of managing the integration and further developing this tool’s capabilities.”

“I’m proud of what we’ve achieved so far, but the journey is just beginning! I have full confidence that the brilliant team at StormGeo will continue to drive S-Insight Bunker Management to even greater heights, delivering immense value to customers worldwide.”
