John Fredriksen's bulker company Golden Ocean has awarded share options worth about NOK 9m ($1m) at the current price to new chief financial officer Peder Simonsen.
The executive joined last week from another Fredriksen-backed shipowner, VLGC player Avance Gas.
Oslo-listed Golden Ocean said Simonsen has been granted 275,000 share options expiring in 2025.
