The man in charge of newbuildings and technical management at Hong Kong's Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) has jumped ship to Taiwan.

James SC Tai has replaced retiring Steve Hong as president of Taipei-based capesize owner Chinese Maritime Transport (CMT). Tai's LinkedIn profile still lists him as general manager at OOCL.

His responsibilities there as head of fleet management included OOCL's newbuilding programme as well as oversight of technical management.
