PSA International is getting a new chief executive officer next year with the appointment of Ong Kim Pong.
In line with succession plans, Ong currently the regional CEO of Southeast Asia, will step up and take over from Tan Chong Meng who will officially retire on March 1, 2024, after 12 years at the helm of Singapore-based terminal operator.
Under Tan’s steer, PSA footprint expanded from 17 to 43 countries worldwide. “It has been a great honour to lead PSA and witness its metamorphosis into the global supply chain player that it is today, partnering port and logistics two of five related businesses and agencies, government authorities and cargo owners all over the world to achieve greater resilience and sustainability,” said Tan.
Nelson Quek, managing director of the container business division in PSA Singapore which is the Group’s flagship business unit, will take the role of regional CEO of Southeast Asia.
