ABS Forms Greater China Operating Division ABS announced a major organizational change with the creation of a fifth oper- ating division that will be responsible for the society’s activities in The People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong SAR and Taiwan. The reorganization took effect October 15. The Divisional Headquarters will be lo- cated in Shanghai where ABS already maintains a large engineering, survey and administrative office. Adam Moilanen has been appointed President of the new ABS Greater China Division. The exist- ing China, Hong Kong and Taiwan sen- ior management teams remain in place and will form the nucleus of the new di- visional executive team. The new division, which has been carved out of the existing ABS Pacific Division, will operate in coordination with the Pacific, Europe and Americas Divisions of the society and with the Nautical Systems fleet management soft- ware division. Spurring the decision to establish the new operating division has been the rapid diversification of China into the gas and offshore sectors, two areas of traditional strength for ABS. “The level of offshore and energy re- lated activity in China, both in relation to China’s own needs and also in terms of major new construction projects for a wide range of offshore exploration and production units, is growing at a very rapid pace,” said Adam Moilanen.
