Meli Marine
Meli Marine is a shipping company, founded in 1974 by Chang Family in Singapore. After acquisition; it made an important strategic decision. It was leading the Intra-Asia transport market. But later it started facing financial crises. To overcome these crises, a new CEO, David Tian was brought in. After 10 years of hard work Tian took Meli marine to a global market and and acquired larger shipping vessels. He brought Meli Marine back on its pace. Now an important decision, whether to enter Meli Marine into Asian-north American shipping lanes like its many other competitors have done or to continue in its current conservative market, has to be taken by Tian.
