ABP CEO becomes new UK Major Ports Group chair

The UK Major Ports Group (UKMPG) has announced that Henrik L. Pedersen, chief executive officer of Associated British Ports (ABP), will become its new chair.

In his role at UKMPG, a trade association representing the voices of the UK’s largest port operators, Henrik L. Pedersen will chair the Board of other member CEOs and provide strategic direction for the organisation as it champions the vital role of the UK ports in facilitating trade, enabling the green energy transition and catalysing the growth of investment and jobs all around the coast of the country.

“I would like to thank Charles for the fantastic work he has done during his tenure and hope to build on this solid foundation in order to grasp the opportunities presented by green growth,” commented Henrik L. Pedersen.

Pedersen was appointed chief executive officer and executive director of the Board of Associated British Ports in August 2018. He joined ABP from APM Terminals, a global ports company owned by the Maersk Group, where he served as chief commercial officer.

Promoting sustainability and ports’ role in accelerating the UK’s journey towards net zero will be a key focus for Pedersen, who will draw on his experience from ABP, a UK’s major port operator.
