During the Covid-19 pandemic, he was responsible for setting up a specialised team to manage and facilitate safe crew change at the Port of Singapore.
Goh Chung Hun, President of LR’s Singapore branch, said: “It’s great to be back at LR after 12 years, taking the lead in Singapore and as a strategic business partner. With LR firmly focussed on maritime, I look forward to supporting LR’s ongoing evolution in Singapore – a key growth market.”
Andy McKeran, LR Chief Commercial officer, said: “It’s wonderful to welcome Chung Hun back to LR. His earlier tenure at LR clearly laid the foundations for a stellar career in maritime in Singapore and we are confident that with CH’s leadership in our Singapore office will underpin LR’s commitment in the region.”
