Glander International Bunkering on Wednesday (1 July) said it has appointed Rune G. Kongstein as successor to Ole Morten Rismyhr, after Rismyhr’s departure as Managing Director from the Norway office.
“During his tenure, Ole Morten was instrumental in our Norwegian operations and we are grateful for his past leadership,” said Carsten Ladekjær, CEO of Glander International Bunkering Group.
“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.”
