Ong Choon Khim, Maritime Regional Director | Asia Pacific

What do you do at AqualisBraemar?

I am the Maritime Regional Director for Asia Pacific and oversee the development of the marine business line and operation in the region. I conduct casualty consultation and survey work on behalf of various interests, including Hull and Machinery underwriters, P&I Clubs, Charterers, and shipowners. I have also written expert reports for litigation purposes in Singapore.

What excites you the most about our industry?

Diversity. Every day is different. Every case is unique. It could be the location, the nature of the casualty or even the people that you meet. It is never boring.

What made you join AqualisBraemar?

When I first started out, The Salvage Association (SA) brand was still in use. SA was founded in 1856, and I was delighted to be offered the opportunity to work for an establishment that has a rich and long legacy. I am happy to say that the legacy of SA and its motto “Quaerite Vera” – Seek the Truth, continues to this day in AqualisBraemar.

What do you do when you are not working?

I love tennis and have been playing the sport since my teens. It is always a joy for me to be on the courts. Apart from tennis, the rest of my personal time is spent at home with the family.
