Shipergy expands global presence with two key hires in Hong Kong and New York

Tech-driven marine fuel trading company Shipergy on Tuesday (13 May) announced the appointment of two seasoned industry professionals to strengthen its global presence and enhance its service capabilities. 

Kingsley Chan joins the company’s operations in Hong Kong, while Michael Bergendorff takes on a key role in New York, marking significant steps in Shipergy’s ongoing expansion strategy.

“We are delighted to welcome Kingsley and Michael to our growing team,” said Michael Stig Nielsen, CCO of Shipergy. 

“Their extensive industry experience and regional knowledge will be invaluable as we continue to expand our global footprint and deliver exceptional value to our clients across key maritime hubs.”

Bergendorff has over 17 years of experience in the shipping, logistics, and bunkering industry to Shipergy. Most recently serving as Managing Director and Partner at The Bunker Firm, where he oversaw operations in the Americas and APAC regions, Bergendorff’s expertise in developing effective strategies that optimize operations and enhance customer satisfaction aligns perfectly with Shipergy’s client-focused approach.

Chan joins Shipergy with 20 years in sales, account management, and business development. Previously a Bunker Trader at Baseblue, Shipergy said Chan’s experience in the Hong Kong market and understanding of marine products and services will strengthen the company’s presence in the Asian region.

The company has its proprietary technology platform, The Wave, which uses real-time data, AI, and machine learning to provide visibility into fuel quality, availability, and decarbonisation potential.
