| New MSC China chief

MSC Cruises has named Helen
Huang as its new president,
Greater China, after opening a
new office in Shanghai.
The move follows the
deployment of MSC Lirica to
homeport in Shanghai earlier
this year, with MSC ceo Gianni
Onorato saying the establishment
of a direct operations and
commercial hub on the ground
was the “next natural step in
the further development of our
business across Greater China”.
He said going forward China
would be a key area of attention
for MSC, “one that we will look to
service with our very best ships”.
Huang joins MSC from Costa
Asia where she was general
manager of Costa China.
