CH Offshore names new chief operating officer

Singapore’s offshore vessel operator CH Offshore has elected a new chief operating officer (COO) effective December 16, 2016.

CH Offshore said on Tuesday that Tan Jit Sin had been selected as the company’s new COO.

The company added that the Nominating Committee considered his track record, age, working experiences, capabilities and other relevant factors for the appointment as a chief operating officer of CH Offshore and recommended him to the board of directors for this position.

Before joining CH Offshore, he worked as a project director at Falcon Energy Projects from 2006.

Apart from his role at CH Offshore, he currently holds directorships in 18 companies.

The COO’s prior employer, Falcon Energy, recently sold 153,846,150 shares in CH Offshore to SZ Offshore Investments which corresponds to 21.83 percent of the total shares in CH Offshore for approximately S$20 million. After the sale, Falcon Energy’s interest was reduced to 64.91 percent of total shares in CH Offshore.

As SZ Offshore was entitled to nominate a director to the board of directors of CH Offshore, the company approved SZ Offshore’s nominee Zhang Haibo earlier this week.
