The current chairman and CEO of Korean Register (KR), Lee Hyungchul extends his tenure for three additional years.
Lee Hyungchul was elected as the company’s twenty-fifth chairman and CEO at the extraordinary meeting of KR’s general assembly on 22 December 2022.
Over his thirty years with KR, Lee has held many senior roles, leading key departments of KR including statutory service team, London branch office, overseas business development team and Seoul branch office.
He had also served in the position of executive vice president of KR’s Business Division, before he was appointed as the chairman and CEO for the first time back in December 2019.
Lee commented, “I feel a heavy responsibility to once again serve as chairman of KR in this difficult time. The maritime industry is facing many challenging tasks, such as decarbonisation and digital transformation. However, I will use the crisis as an opportunity, and dedicate myself to further enhance the status of KR and the Korean maritime industry.”
