Tom Ekegren, Master Mariner and Executive MBA, comes to Steerprop from icebreaker owner and operator Arctia Ltd. where he has held various top management roles since 2016, the most recent being the position of Global Chartering Sales and Operations Manager. He is a seasoned professional in icebreaking, Arctic, and offshore multi-purpose operations, bringing more than 25 years of experience to Steerprop’s already strong team of Arctic experts.
In his new role as Arctic Segment Director at Steerprop, Mr. Ekegren will be responsible for developing the sales and lifecycle solutions of Steerprop’s Arctic business area.
“Tom’s background in operating and managing icebreakers brings a unique experience that will help us at Steerprop to further develop our solutions.

“As we are growing and expanding our organization, further strengthening our expertise in the Arctic segment, we are excited to welcome Tom on board. We are looking forward to the valuable contribution he will bring to our team,” Rekola continues.
