NOL
Announces new regional structure for Asia
DEC, 11.2008
Neptune Orient Lines (NOL), announced that from January the 1st, 2009, the Group’s Asia-wide container shipping business will be coordinated through two rather than the current three regions.
Under the new structure, the existing Greater China region will be combined with the company’s Japan and Korea operations - currently part of the Asia-Middle East region - to form a new North Asia region. NOL’s current South Asia president Ken Glenn will take on the role of president North Asia.
The current president of NOL’s Asia-Middle East region, Jim McAdam, will be the president of the South Asia region, which will encompass company activities across South East Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East and Australasia.
Dan Ryan, who has been the president of NOL’s Greater China region since August 2006, is to take up a key role with the company in the United States.
