“All three of the newly appointed candidates have played a critical role in guiding Glander International Bunkering DMCC through pivotal points in the office’s history,” said group CEO, Carsten Ladekjaer. “As the group continues to expand its relationships regionally and internationally, we require the correct leadership and expertise in place to help us navigate and continue to thrive in an ever-changing marketplace.”

He has 25 years’ experience in the shipping and bunkering industry, gaining experience from living and working in various locations in; Denmark, Piraeus, Gibraltar and the UAE.
Margaritis has been with the company for seven years, working in his role as team leader and senior bunker/lubricant trader.
