Dan Clague has been appointed as the new chair of the Steam Packet.
Mr Clague will replace Lars Ugland who recently retired from the post after serving the company since April 2020.
Welcoming the appointment, Dr Alex Allinson said: “This appointment will enable the Steam Packet Company to benefit from Mr Clague’s extensive experience in both passenger ferry operations and finance during a career spanning more than 40 years.”
Mr Clague, who is currently based in London, is a senior adviser and non-executive director with an extensive track record providing corporate finance advice, mainly in the shipping and ports industry.
He is a descendent of the owner of John Clague and Son Limited, an iron foundry business in Ramsey.
Mr Clague said: ‘I am very pleased to have this opportunity to renew my professional relationship with the Steam Packet Company, which is a business I know well from earlier in my career.
“Looking to the present, I believe its acquisition by the Isle of Man Government has provided the platform required to continue to serve the Island, as it has done since 1830.’
