Dubai: DP World has appointed Flemming Dalgaard as senior vice-president and managing director of its Europe and Russia region, and Anil Singh as senior vice-president and managing director of its Africa region.

The regional responsibilities had changed with the appointments, with three of DP World's eight operating regions reorganised to reflect the company's growing business in Russia and Africa, chief executive Mohammad Sharaf said.

The former Europe and North Africa region now encompasses Europe and Russia under Dalgaard while Singh's Africa region now encompasses all of Africa except Egypt.

The newly acquired DP World Sokhna, Egypt, is now part of the Middle East region, headed by Faisal Al Qah'tani, who joined the company in 2007.

Dalgaard will join DP World in April from Danish shipping company Maersk Line, where he is currently UK and Ireland managing director.

During his 20 year career with the Danish company, he worked in several places, including in Africa, the Middle East, Europe and East Asia.

Anil Singh joined DP World this month from Thailand where he was group chief executive of Laem Chabang container terminals B1 and A0, a joint venture between APM Terminals, PSA and Marubeni.
