At­lantic LNG has ap­point­ed Dr Ram­per­sad Moti­lal as chair­man, bring­ing one of the coun­try’s most ex­pe­ri­enced en­er­gy ex­ec­u­tives in­to the lead­er­ship of the liq­ue­fied nat­ur­al gas com­pa­ny at a time when the sec­tor is un­der pres­sure from de­clin­ing gas sup­ply and re­struc­tur­ing.

Moti­lal re­places Vin­cent Pereira, whose tenure as chair­man has come to an end as At­lantic con­tin­ues im­ple­ment­ing the first phase of its cor­po­rate re­struc­tur­ing.

Moti­lal brings more than four decades of ex­pe­ri­ence in Trinidad and To­ba­go’s en­er­gy in­dus­try, with a ca­reer span­ning petro­chem­i­cals, large-scale project de­vel­op­ment, en­gi­neer­ing man­age­ment and cor­po­rate strat­e­gy.
