We are proud to announce that Peter Grunwaldt, VP Head of Bunkers at Hafnia has joined the International Bunker Industry Association’s (IBIA) newly established European Regional Board. The new Board marks the completion of IBIA’s strategic initiative to create five regional boards worldwide, each designed to foster closer collaboration across the bunker and shipping industries on a regional level. The European board will serve as a platform for addressing key issues and promoting sustainable practices within the sector.
Peter Grunwaldt joins an esteemed lineup of industry leaders, with the board chaired by Charlotte Rojgaard, Global Marine Fuels Director at Bureau Veritas Verifuel. Other members include John Stirling of World Fuel Services, Kenneth Juhls of ZeroNorth Bunker, Andrea Realfonzo from Grimaldi Group, Sofia Furstenberg Stott from Furstenberg Maritime Advisory, Jan Christensen of Hapag-Lloyd AG, and Capt. John Ghio from the Port of Gibraltar.
Charlotte Rojgaard, the newly appointed chair of the European Regional Board, emphasized the Board’s potential to drive meaningful progress on issues specific to Europe’s diverse and dynamic bunker industry and its readiness to address both the current challenges and future opportunities in marine fuels and environmental stewardship.
IBIA’s regional boards are dedicated to strengthening local engagement, advocating best practices, and addressing region-specific challenges while upholding IBIA’s global vision. The European Regional Board is expected to play a pivotal role in advancing industry standards, sustainability, and cooperation across the European marine fuel landscape.
