The board of directors agreed to Basma’s request for an early release of his contract effective 1 January 2015.
In addition, Basma will relinquish his directorships in other companies within Bumi Armada Group, but will continue to be a consultant to the company when necessary.
Bumi Armada is taking steps to search for a new CEO. During that time, Chan Chee Beng will be acting CEO and executive director.
Chan has been a member of the board since 2004, a member of the executive committee of Bumi Armada since 2008, acting as its chairman from 2013.
Bumi says that Chan will work closely with, and provide leadership to the management team, to ensure continuity of relationships with the company’s key clients and other stakeholders, and delivery of existing projects.
