InterManager, the international association of in-house and third party ship managers, has paid tribute to the life and memory of Captain Charles Vanderperre,

the founder of Univan Ship Management and the long-accredited
grandfather of modern day third party shipmanagement, who died last
week at the age of 88.

In a statement, Guy Morel, General Secretary of the Association, said:
“We salute his memory and applaud the work he did in driving forward
the development of third party shipmanagement.  Many of today’s top
managers owe their success to the wisdom of Capt Vanderperre and for
this he will be sorely missed.”

Captain Vanderperre, who handed over the responsibility for the day to
day operations of Univan to the management team some months ago, passed
away peacefully on 19th September, in his 88th year, after a long
illness. A private funeral will take place in Thailand this week.
