“Looking ahead, we congratulate Rune G. Kongstein on his promotion and new role.
“As Managing Director, Rune will continue to bring an unmatched understanding of the bunkering market in Norway.”
Kongstein has 31 years of experience in the bunkering and shipping industry, a portfolio of senior management roles and a track record of operational results, noted the company.
At Glander International Bunkering, he was hired as Sales Manager earlier this year and has quickly risen to his current role.
“I am proud and delighted to follow in the footsteps of Ole Morten Rismyh,” said Kongtein.
“With our two Norwegian offices in Tønsberg and Oslo, we have a unique stronghold of local relationships and knowledge that we will continue to uphold and strengthen.”
