Connecticut-based tanker brokerage MJLF & Associates has made a round of key hires amid what it says is an overhaul of the company's operations.

MJLF has hired former Navig8 man Mikkel Mathiesen to head its office in Houston, which opened in 2015.

Mathiesen most recently had been commercial director in Houston, and a well-regarded specialist in VLCCs, for Navig8.
