Robert Macleod’s appointment as chief executive of Frontline

Robert Macleod is a products tanker specialist and adding products tanker know-how to the Fredriksen system, the products fleet could remain under the enlarged Frontline umbrella. Reverse merger of Frontline and Frontline 2012’s fit recent developments in the Fredriksen group. Dry bulk companies Knightsbridge and Golden Ocean were brought together just two weeks ago.
Golden Ocean chief executive Herman Billung has guided in the Norwegian media that Fredriksen wants to have one dry cargo and one tanker company. Robert Macleod is replacing Jens Martin Jensen as chief executive at the tanker owner. At 35 Robert Macleod is a relatively young appointment, but the second analyst notes Fredriksen has a history of “allowing talented and focused people to step up to the plate”.
Jens Martin Jensen will now take responsibility for the group’s newbuilding, sale and purchase and shipping projects work.
