Ulrich Ulrichs is stepping down from the management of newly formed multipurpose operator Zeamarine Carrier.

Ulrichs is departing after seven years as chief executive of the former Rickmers Line to be replaced by Kai von Taube from the fourth quarter of the year.

Ulrichs is leaving “amiably on his own accord” at the end of December 2018 to pursue other opportunities, the company said.
