Simon Doughty has quit as chief executive of third-party shipmanagement company Wallem Group.
Doughty's decision comes amid a wish to leave Hong Kong and return home to be with his daughters and ageing parents, a statement said.
Nigel Hill, chairman of Wallem, said Jennifer Curtis at Cripps Sears in London is handling the search for a replacement.
Doughty will remain in the post until a successor is found.
