Ong, who is regional CEO of South-east Asia at PSA International, will take over from Tan Chong Meng, 63, who is retiring from his position next year.
Welcoming Ong’s appointment as group CEO, group Chairman Peter Voser said: “A well-respected professional with almost three decades of experience in our operations across the world including South-east Asia, Europe, the Mediterranean and North-east Asia, Kim Pong has a deep understanding of PSA’s business and is well-placed to helm the organisation’s continued transformation journey and growth.”
In 2009, Ong was named Managing Director of PSA Antwerp and PSA Zeebrugge, overseeing the port operator’s flagship operations in Europe. From 2010 to 2015, Ong held the position of regional Chief Executive Officer of North-east Asia, during which time he managed PSA’s portfolio in China, Hong Kong and Korea.
