To further strengthen its ferry knowledge and to gain an even clearer focus on the ferry industry, Carus has engaged a new Board member with broad experience in the industry. “At Carus' Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on the 29 April, Ove Johan Solem was appointed Non-Executive Director of the Board,” the company said in a statement.
Ove has 30 years of experience in shipping and offshore industries. He was MD of Fjord Line and Executive VP of Color Line before changing direction to bring his knowledge to the offshore industry. Most recently Ove has held senior management and board positions within the First Olsen group of companies. He holds an MBA in International Shipping.
“We are very happy to have Ove on board. He brings to Carus a wealth of experience as well as his contact network in the ferry industry”, said Anders Rundberg, Carus CEO. “Experience of international ferry operations is key to our ongoing success in the market and Ove is just the right person to help us at board level to set strategies for the future.”
“IT has become the foundation to every ferry operator’s success so the offer to join the Carus Board of Directors is both a strategic decision and a very interesting challenge that I could not resist” says Ove.
“Carus already has a firm position as the leading supplier to several innovative, high-profile ferry operators in the market and I am excited to join the company at this time. I am sure Carus will continue its development as a key supplier to the industry into the future.”
Carus is focused on the passenger shipping industry providing advanced reservations and departure control solutions that are constantly evolving to meet the ever changing operational demands of our clients.
