Interim BW LPG chief executive Anders Onarheim has been appointed to the job on a permanent basis.

The board member replaced Martin Ackermann on 9 December temporarily at the Oslo-listed BW Group spin-off.

Andreas Sohmen-Pao, chairman of BW LPG, said he was delighted that Onarheim agreed to stay on.

"Anders knows BW LPG well, having served on the board for many years," he added.
