The International Bunker Industry Association (IBIA) has appointed Bob Lintott, managing director- trading for US based ISO Bunkers LLC, as vice chairman.

He will succeed to the chairmanship when the current chair, Mike Ball, steps down in 2011.

Bob Lintott has over forty years experience in the global bunker industry. Currently head of trading at US-based ISO Bunkers LLC, he was formerly in senior positions with Bominflot in the USA. During his career he has purchased, traded and marketed bunkers globally.

Commenting on the appointment, Mike Ball said "The board is delighted that Bob has agreed to step up to this position. His wide experience across the bunker industry will be invaluable to IBIA at a time when we face increasing regulation of the use of fuel and IBIA has to be a voice of reason and common sense for all sides of the marine fuel business."

Bob Lintott said, "I'm proud to have been elected as vice chairman of IBIA, and look forward to helping it develop further as the global voice of the marine fuels industry. We have to make sure that regulators understand what ship owners and fuel suppliers need and why they need that."
