EPS makes senior management changes

Singapore-based Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS) has made a series of senior management appointments as it continues to strengthen its leadership platform following the integration of LNG carrier operator CoolCo.

EPS announced on Monday that these appointments reflect its continued evolution toward a “more empowered, segment-driven structure as the company progresses on its EPS 500 journey.”

According to EPS, Thomas Preben Hansen will assume the role of S&P Director, in addition to his existing responsibilities as commercial director for containers and PCTCs, effective March 1, 2026.

In this expanded role, Thomas will oversee the sale & purchase (S&P) function as a group-level cener of excellence, working closely with segment commercial directors across the EPS fleet.

Hansen succeeds Tay Gak Yong, who will be leaving the company at the end of the month after more than 20 years with EPS.

Moreover, EPS announced the appointment of Wong Liang Pin as chief financial officer (CFO), effective April 2026.

The shipping firm said Pin brings extensive financial and corporate leadership experience and will oversee EPS’ global finance, treasury, and capital allocation functions as the company continues to grow in scale and complexity.

Pin succeeds Ken Cambie, who will be stepping down after close to 13 years of dedicated service with EPS.

Rajeev Ahuja, currently commercial director, LPG and ammonia, will assume the role of commercial director, tankers and will relocate back to Singapore later this year.

In connection with this transition, Rajeev will hand over commercial responsibility for the gas segment to Øystein Kalleklev, who was recently appointed managing director of CoolCo and commercial director of EPS Gas following the completion of the merger.
