Most recently Rasmussen was Global Head of Research at Maersk Broker, a role he held for six years focusing on the main shipping segments; dry bulk, tanker, and container. Prior to that, Rasmussen held several different roles at Maersk Line, which took him around the world including postings in Japan, Singapore, and the United States.
“We are delighted that Niels will be heading our shipping market analysis team. BIMCO will continue to publish its quarterly reports about the main shipping segments while increasing our focus on the solutions and impacts of decarbonisation,” says Michael Lund, Deputy Secretary-General at BIMCO.
“I am excited to join BIMCO and look forward to contributing to the industry’s understanding of market developments – from supply chain issues to challenges caused by the pandemic. I also look forward to working with the rest of the BIMCO team,” says Rasmussen.
At BIMCO, our mission is to be at the forefront of global developments in shipping, providing expert knowledge and practical advice to safeguard and add value to our members’ businesses.
BIMCO is a membership-based non-governmental organisation with offices in Copenhagen, Singapore, Shanghai, Athens and London. Our members range from the largest shipowners in the world to small local port agents and law firms.
As the largest direct entry shipping organisation with over 1,900 members in more than 130 countries, our membership represents 60% of the world cargo fleet measured by tonnage – the weight of the unloaded ships. Our ambition is to help build a resilient industry in a sustainable future whilst protecting world trade by helping to manage the risk to our members, and therefore shipping, in a changing world.
