Hafnia Limited has completed its planned CEO transition, with Søren Steenberg Jensen assuming the role on September 1, 2026, succeeding Mikael Øpstun Skov, while the company emphasizes that its strategy and operating model remain unchanged. An Extraordinary General Meeting is scheduled for September 23, 2026, to appoint Skov as a Director, preserving governance continuity for shareholders and stakeholders. Hafnia, a BW Group-backed tanker owner operating around 180 vessels and offering integrated technical, commercial, chartering, and bunker services, maintains offices in Singapore, Copenhagen, Houston, and Dubai with about 4,000 employees. The leadership change has been communicated across multiple platforms, including confirmations of Jensen’s appointment and the upcoming EGM. Analyst coverage cited in one report notes Hafnia stock as a Hold with a specific price target, reflecting mixed near-term sentiment. The company’s public disclosures reiterate stability in leadership and ongoing commitments to its global oil, oil products, and chemical transportation business.

NOK79 target with a Hold rating tells me the market isn't expecting fireworks from this transition, just steady as she goes.

vessels is a big fleet to hand over, hope Jensen has the operational chops to match his predecessor.
