Teekay Shipping Chairman Steps Down

Teekey Shipping Corp. said its chairman, Axel Karlshoej, will resign from the board because of work demands at his company, Nordic Industries. Karlshoej will be replaced by C. Sean Day, a member of the board and consultant to the trust group that holds about 45 percent of Teekay’s shares. Teekay also said it expanded the board to nine members from eight, appointing Leif O. Hoegh to the ninth position in conjunction with Teekay’s acquisition of Bona Shipholding Ltd.
