Casper Pasgaard Dybdal has been tasked with servicing all Bunker Holding offices on legal and contractual matters.



Bunker Holding - part of United Shipping & Trading Company (USTC) group and the parent company of a group of companies that includes A/S Dan-Bunkering Ltd and Trumf Bunker A/S - says that it has hired Casper Pasgaard Dybdal [pictured] as legal counsel "to strengthen its legal team due to increased activities in the group".
