Bob Sanguinetti, CEO and Captain of the Port of Gibraltar, Henrik Zederkof, CEO of Dan-Bunkering, and Mustafa Muhtaroglu, CEO of Energy Petrol, will all join the International Bunker Industry Association (IBIA) Board on April 1, 2016.

The appointments were announced at the Association's 23th annual dinner, which was held on February 8, 2016 at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London.

Chairman elect Robin Meech, opened the event by acknowledging that the last year has been a period of dramatic change, with global trade slowing, along with global bunker demand.

Meech also welcomed Patrick Holloway, Partner with Webber Wentzel Attorneys, who is an IBIA main board member and steers the IBIA in Africa, Executive Committee, and thanked Dilip Mody, Treasurer on the IBIA board, who stood down at the AGM.

Looking to the year ahead, Meech said IBIA is pushing to improve bunkering facilities at ports around the world, and that carbon emissions, greenhouse gases, and education and raising industry standards would be the key concerns for his forthcoming term of office, as well as the members' recent industry wide call for higher ethical standards.

Last December Ship & Bunker reported Michael Green, who was elected to the IBIA Board of Directors in February 2014, will replace Meech as Vice-Chairman.
