Global shipping, logistics and marine services provider GAC has appointed Fredrik Nyström [pictured] as its new Group Vice President for the Asia Pacific region. He takes over from Dan Hjalmarsson, who has retired.

Nyström has been GAC’s Regional Business Controller based at the Regional Office in Singapore since 2007.

"He continues the work of his predecessor to guide the activities and expand the business of GAC companies throughout the region in line with the group’s ongoing growth strategy," GAC said in a statement.

GAC Group President Bengt Ekstrand remarked: "In the 12 years since Fredrik joined us, he has served key roles in the Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Asia Pacific. That has given him the solid knowledge and experience that will prove valuable in overseeing our continued development in one of the world’s most diverse regions."

Nyström said: "We are already strong in Asia Pacific, but it is a large and highly competitive market. I shall draw on our considerable resources and stable infrastructure to strengthen our standing in the region."
