Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven, the German ship repair and conversion specialist, said it is strengthening its management team by bringing in Carsten Sippel to join Rudiger Pallentin and Carsten J. Haake as the shipyard’s third managing director.

Carsten Sippel has a degree in business administration and will be responsible for the yard’s finance, controlling and IT sectors from October 1st2018.

He has a lot of experience in the maritime branch having worked in managerial positions with globally active companies in the ship supply industry for the past 25 years. For the last nine years he has been in charge of a similar business portfolio as managing director and CFO of Wärtsilä SAM Electronics GmbH in Hamburg.

"I am looking forward to the new assignment", said Carsten Sippel "and also to being in a position to contribute my own business expertise to Lloyd Werft and play an active role in continuing to advance the company’s success".

Pallentin and  Haake already know Carsten Sippel well from his previous work with Wärtsilä SAM Electronics GmbH. They underscore how important it is for Lloyd Werft to have acquired in him an experienced and highly-qualified specialist with such proven skills in internationally active concerns.

The new appointment follows the departure in June of  Carsten J. Haake, who was named CFO of the management team of MV Werften.
