New technical expert for DNV Petroleum Services panel

Forget spent some 40 years with Shell, and was global technical manager until his retirement from the company last year. He started at sea with Shell Tankers in 1969 and after coming ashore he was responsible for developing and implementing technical service offers and providing expert technical support, such as investigations into product and machinery problems.

In 1997 when Shell Marine Products Limited was formed, Forget became manager of the technical service unit, overseeing international marine fuel portfolio management, product quality assurance and R&D.
He has been an active member of the CIMAC fuels working group and was a member of the team responsible for developing the ISO 8217: 2010 marine fuel specification.

“I am delighted with the opportunity to consult for DNVPS. The marine fuel management business has become much more complex and I look forward to working with my new colleagues in creating efficient and impactful solutions for ship operators,” says Forget.

DNVPS managing directorTore Morten Wetterhus says: “In terms of knowledge and experience in marine fuels, very few people can match Keith Forget’s stature. His authoritative expertise will be invaluable to DNVPS and to the shipping community at large.”
