New commercial manager for Wallenius Marine

Feb 19, 2025

Niklas Blomqvist, formerly Environment & Quality Manager, has been appointed Head of Wallenius Marine Singapore and Global Commercial Manager. In his new role, Niklas is based in Singapore. By placing the role of Global Commercial Manager in Singapore, Wallenius Marine strengthens its market focus on the Asian region.

Over the past three years, Wallenius Marine, part of the Soya Group, has successfully doubled the number of ship management assignments. With its existing offices in Stockholm and Singapore, the company ensures close dialogue with customers worldwide.

As Captain Swee Aun Lim, former Head of Wallenius Marine Singapore and Ship Management Singapore, retires, Wallenius Marine has implemented several organizational adjustments.

Niklas Blomqvist takes on two new roles, succeeding Swee Aun Lim as Head of Wallenius Marine Singapore and Göran Söderdahl as Global Commercial Manager. Göran Söderdahl has transitioned to the role of CEO of Lakeway Link. With Niklas based in Singapore, the commercial focus on Asia— a region with significant growth potential— is further strengthened.

"Having Niklas take on both roles and be stationed at our Singapore office strengthens our strategic efforts in the region. His mission is to drive business development and enhance collaboration between our existing offices in Singapore and Stockholm," says Johan Mattsson, CEO of Wallenius Marine.

Some time ago, San Win, formerly Manager Human Resources Singapore, was appointed Head of Ship Management Singapore.

"San Win has extensive experience and solid expertise in the field, making him well-suited to drive continued growth and business development within Ship Management," says Henrik Hammarberg, Head of Global Ship Management at Wallenius Marine.
