Singapore – Swire Shipping today announced a significant expansion of its regional
footprint with the establishment of a new branch office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This
milestone underscores the company’s continued investment in Southeast Asia and its
commitment to strengthening customer engagement and service delivery across the
region.
The newly formed Malaysia team will be led by Koon Yan Tan, formerly Head of Swire
Shipping Singapore Agency, who is designated to assume the expanded role of Head of
Singapore and Malaysia Agencies. Koon Yan will oversee Swire Shipping’s agency
activities across both markets upon completion of the necessary immigration and
employment approvals and is expected to relocate to Kuala Lumpur in the near future.
Swire Shipping is delighted to welcome several highly experienced colleagues who have
supported the company for many years through Ben Line Agencies Malaysia. Their deep
operational knowledge and longstanding partnership with the company will ensure strong
continuity as Swire Shipping transitions to its own dedicated presence in Malaysia.
“Malaysia is an important and growing market for Swire Shipping,” said Randy
Selvaratnam, Chief Commercial Officer. “Opening our own office in Kuala Lumpur
allows us to be closer to our customers, respond more quickly to local needs, and further
strengthens our commitment to delivering service excellence throughout the region.”
The launch of the Kuala Lumpur branch marks another milestone in Swire Shipping’s
strategy to broaden its commercial presence and support customers with greater agility
and local insight.
