Ex-Petronas head to helm SembMarine

THE man who led the transformation of Malaysian natural gas exporter Petronas into a global oil-and-gas company will soon helm Singapore's offshore-and-marine engineering giant Sembcorp Marine.

Mohd Hassan Marican, who is now deputy chairman of Sembcorp Marine, succeeds Goh Geok Ling as chairman of the board on April 22. He will also assume Mr Goh's role as chairman of both the Executive Committee and the Executive Resource & Compensation Committee as well as a member of the Nominating Committee.

Mr Goh said of his successor: "With his extensive experience in the oil-and-gas industry, coupled with his vast knowledge of finance and management, Mohd Hassan Marican is well-positioned to steer Sembcorp Marine into its next phase of growth and transformation."
