BSM’s Sebastian von Hardenberg appointed new president of InterManager

The chief executive of Germany’s Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM), Sebastian von Hardenberg, has been elected as the new president of InterManager.

He takes over from Columbia Shipmanagement president and CEO Mark O’Neil, who has been at the helm of the industry association whose members manage over 7,500 ships since 2021.

Von Hardenberg joined the Schulte Group in 2005 and served as BSM’s chief financial officer from 2015 until January this year, when he took the top job, succeeding Ian Beveridge.

He was previously vice president of InterManager, a position that has now been filled by Raal Harris, chief creative officer at Ocean Technologies Group.
