Siri Sundal Shield, senior ship broker at Odfjell Tankers, has been elected president of Women's International Shipping & Trading Association (WISTA), succeeding Pia Meling, who has chosen to step back after two years.
Shield has spent close to 20 years in commercial roles within the shipping industry and has extensive broking and business development experience from ship broking majors Clarksons, Howe Robinson and Simpson Spence Young in London and Bergen.

Baumann
has appointed Gary Chapman as president of Baumann Canada, as the company looks to build on investments made in the North American market.
Chapman will oversee the appointment of new dealers as well as support existing dealer, Cervus Equipment.
Chapman has extensive experience of the materials handling industry, and particularly the long load sector.
The size of the Canadian sideloader market remains relatively modest, yet the ability of sideloader equipment to carry long loads over greater distances has led to a growing number of enquiries amongst Canadian lumber, metals and extrusions businesses, the company notes.
