Teo Teng Seng, an advisor at Pacific International Lines (PIL), has been elected as the new president of the Singapore Shipping Association, succeeding Caroline Yang as head of one of the largest regional shipping bodies in the world. Teo had served as chair of SSA’s digitalisation committee for the past five years. 

“As our industry faces a myriad of challenges such as the pressure to decarbonise, keeping up with the advancement of technology, unstable geopolitics and economic uncertainty, the role of SSA as a tripartite partner is more crucial than ever,” Teo said. 

Currently, the SSA represents over 500 member companies, comprising shipowners and operators, shipmanagers, ship agents, and other ancillary companies.
