Singapore‑headquartered shipmanager Synergy Marine Group has named Vikas Trivedi as Co‑CEO – Ship Management, with specific responsibility for its tanker and gas carrier division.
Trivedi brings nearly 25 years of senior leadership experience from another top‑three global ship manager.
He joins existing co‑CEO Ajay Chaudhry, who continues to head the Dry vessel division.
Trivedi’s co‑leadership role comes at a time when Synergy continues to expand in tanker, gas and dual‑fuel operations, with the executive team managing a fleet of nearly 700 vessels.
“As the industry navigates the energy transition, my focus will be on building practical capabilities that help shipowners adapt with safety, clarity, and continuity. A just transition, anchored in a safety-first environment and delivered by well-trained crew, will be key to making that shift successful,” Trivedi said.
Commenting on Trivedi’s appointment, Jesper Kristensen, Group CEO, added: “With Vikas and Ajay leading our divisions, we are reinforcing what Synergy stands for – dependable delivery, operational depth, and a relentless focus on quality. This leadership pairing enables us to present our full toolbox to shipowners at a time when the maritime sector is undergoing profound change—ensuring we remain a consistent, capable partner across segments and geographies.”
