We will look forward to working with them to ensure that their terms in office are a success”.
The changes follow-on from the 2024 Annual General Meeting which took place earlier this week. It is standard procedure at Shipping Australia to have a schedule rotation of the senior leadership positions on the Board.
The changes will take place with effect from 01 January 2025.
