Texas-based floating LNG player Excelerate Energy said it has appointed David A. Liner as vice president of operations and maintenance.

With over 25 years of maritime experience in the oil and gas industry, Liner would oversee the company’s global fleet of FSRUs and port operations, including fleet personnel and technical teams, according to Excelerate.

He joined the company on August 31.
