Board of Directors
 
Mr. TSOI Tin Chun
Chairman of the Board

Mr. Tsoi, aged 48, founder of Titan Petrochemicals Group Limited (listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as HK1192), has been the Group's Chairman since its inception in May 2002. He was also the Chief Executive from January 2008 to January 2012.

From the early 1980s until the Group's emergence, Mr. Tsoi, a native of Fujian, has been involved in the storage, transportation and distribution of oil products in China. This period marked the beginning of China's economic transformation and the transition from exporting to importing oil. It was also a time when Mr. Tsoi's innovative concept of "integrated oil logistics" began to take shape. To realise this concept, Mr. Tsoi moved to Hong Kong and later to Singapore where, in 1996, he established Titan Oil Pte Ltd, a substantial shareholder of the Company within the meaning of Part XV of the Securities and Futures Ordinance. Through the gradual development of the oil supply, transportation, storage and distribution businesses, the Company succeeded in establishing an integrated oil logistics platform to provide customers one-stop service.

In 2005, the Group was awarded the "Global Trader Programme Status" by the Singapore Government and in the following year Titan Oil Pte Ltd was named one of the Top 100 Enterprises in Singapore.

While fully engaged in the international market, Mr. Tsoi has, nevertheless, been most concerned about economic developments in China. He has brought back to China his successful experience in international marketing as well as management practices developed in Singapore. Under his leadership, the Group, while developing its business in Singapore, also actively invested in oil logistics facilities and a shipyard in China. The Group is now building large modern petrochemical terminals in strategic locations at key coastal areas of China, namely, Nansha in Guangdong; Quanzhou in Fujian and Yangshan at Shanghai. It is also providing management services for a multi-functional ship-repair and shipbuilding yard, which is one of the largest in Asia.

Mr. Tsoi firmly believes that entrepreneurs and enterprises have responsibilities to contribute to society. Thus, in June 2006, Titan Oil Pte Ltd initiated construction of Titan Maritime Institute in Fujian, China. This institute is committed in developing itself into a first-class comprehensive full-time higher vocational educational establishment, and aimed at giving supports to inject maritime talents to the domestic and international marine industry. Phase one construction has completed, and school commenced in September 2009 with 431 students admitted. Currently, nearly 1,000 full-time students are studying in the institute, and upon full completion of the construction, the number of full-time students will gradually increase to 5,000, offering a wide range of maritime, ship building/repair related vocational training courses to students.

Mr. Tsoi, a Singaporean, is married and has five children.
