BIMCO has appointed Stinne Taiger Ivø, previously Director of Contracts and Support, as BIMCO Deputy Secretary General.
As part of the leadership team, Ivø will be representing one of the major business areas at BIMCO, Contracts and Clauses, as the shipping industry is facing an increase in new regulations from IMO and EU on the road to decarbonisation.
Ivø joined BIMCO in 2022 to lead the Contracts and Support department, which develops and provides the shipping industry with contracts and clauses in close collaboration with industry representatives, and the Support and Advice department answers members’ queries about charter parties and other contracts.
Prior to working at BIMCO, Ivø headed the claims department of marine insurer Skuld (Copenhagen), worked at Danish Shipping (formerly known as the Danish Shipowners’ Association) and as a lawyer at Gorrissen Federspiel’s department for Shipping/Offshore/Transportation. She holds a PhD in international company law and a Master of Laws, both from the University of Copenhagen.
Søren Larsen, the current Deputy Secretary General responsible for BIMCO’s contractual work, will be retiring in May 2024 after 39 years of service.
