The International Bunker Industry Association (IBIA) on Wednesday (16 April) announced the appointment of Jon Hughes, Managing Director of Dan-Bunkering Africa, as the new Chair of the IBIA Africa Regional Board.
With over two decades of experience in the marine fuel sector, IBIA said Hughes brings extensive expertise in bunker trading and supply chain management, having played a pivotal role in Dan-Bunkering’s growth and operations across the African region.
“As Jon takes on this leadership role, we also take a moment to express our sincere appreciation to Paul Maclons, who is stepping down after serving as Chair since 2021,” IBIA said on its website.
“Paul’s tenure has been marked by integrity, dedication, and impactful leadership across both the Regional and Global Boards.”
Commenting on his appointment, Hughes said: “I am honoured to take on the role of IBIA Africa Chair and build on the solid foundations laid by Paul Maclons and previous Chairs.
“I look forward to working with colleagues across the region to further strengthen collaboration, promote sustainable practices, and support the continued growth of Africa’s bunkering sector.”
