The International Bunker Industry Association on Tuesday (6 August) introduced Alex Tang as its new Regional Manager for IBIA (Asia) Ltd. effective 5 August, 2019.
Tang has a strong technical background and has worked with fuel testing and inspection services for nearly 14 years, where he has been dealing with a range of bunker industry stakeholders, according to IBIA.
In this work he has been managing client relationships as well as undertaking training, and also has managerial experience. He speaks Mandarin and Cantonese in addition to English.
“We are excited to welcome Alex to the IBIA team. He brings a great set of skills that make him very well suited to this important role, and we look forward to working with him,” said Unni Einemo, the Director of IBIA.
Tang joins IBIA from the AVA Marine Group Pte Ltd. where he was Managing Director, and Petro Inspect Group where he was Director for Global Sales and Marketing.

Tang replaces Simon Neo, who left the role as IBIA’s Regional Manager for Asia at the end of July. He will be assisted in the running of IBIA (Asia) Ltd. by Noraini Binte Salim, who was recently appointed as Office Manager.
