China Nav poaches Pac Basin veteran
Singapore: Andy Kidd, in charge of tonnage procurement for Hong Kong’s Pacific Basin, is jumping ship to China Navigation to head up the Swire affiliate’s dry bulk desk.

Pacific Basin is looking for a replacement for Kidd, whose responsibilities also included looking after and creating vessel pools. According to well placed market sources China Navigation is gearing up for a handysize splurge. [27/08/12]
