Former CEO of AP Møller-Maersk, Nils Smedegaard Andersen, has become chairman of Unifeeder.

He said he was excited by his new role at Unifeeder and would consider expanding its activities, possibly through mergers and acquisitions.
”Unifeeder is a well-run company, fulfilling an important role as partner to both global liner shipping companies and industrial customers across Europe.

Unifeeder is majority owned by Nordic Capital and has become Europe’s largest feeder and shortsea operator.
