Anemoi is pleased to announce that Clare Urmston has been appointed as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
After holding a number of executive and non-executive positions within the manufacturing, healthcare and fast-moving consumer goods sectors, Clare Urmston joined Anemoi in March 2020 as its Chief Financial Officer and, in May 2024, became Chief Operating Officer as part of the company’s growth into Asia.
She replaces Kim Diederichsen who is stepping down as CEO after more than five years in the role.
Anemoi has seen substantial growth over the past few years as ship owners look to harness wind power through the company’s tailored Rotor Sails, also known as Flettner Rotors, to help propel their vessels through renewable wind energy.
The company has recently collaborated with Berge Bulk to install four 35 m-tall Rotor Sails onboard the 388,000 dwt Valemax ore carrier Berge Neblina, as well as TR Lady Shipping to install three 24 m-tall Rotor Sails onboard the 82,000 dwt Kamsarmax bulk carrier TR Lady. Anemoi has also announced partnerships with U-Ming Marine, NS United and Vale to bring more Rotor Sails to some of the world’s biggest vessels.
