SeaLead appoints new chief executive advisor

SeaLead has appointed veteran liner shipping executive SC Chan to the role of chief executive advisor. In this new position, he will report to SeaLead managing director Henry Schmidl and will be based in Singapore.

Schmidl commented on the new appointment, “We are delighted to have SC join us in this new advisory role. He has proven experience in growing and developing liner shipping activities and we look forward to his support and advice. With his knowledge and expertise, we are confident that SeaLead can further develop and continue its forward momentum.”

Chan will provide expertise in defining the strategic development of the company, including supporting further expansion into new trade lanes and markets.

He will also drive stronger relationships with terminals, ports, current and future partners, and vendors, as SeaLead taps into his wide network and detailed knowledge of the liner shipping world.

Chan started his career at sea and qualified as a master mariner in 1987, before joining OOCL and working in a number of different positions, including the role of regional managing director of OOCL Singapore, providing oversight to more than 30 countries across South East Asia, Africa, South and West Asia. He was also CEO of China Sonangol group.

SC Chan stated, “I am delighted to be working with the SeaLead management team at this stage of their journey. I’m convinced that a strong management team, an emphasis on reliability and efficiency, and a strong customer focus will enable SeaLead to continue its rapid ascent in the liner shipping world.”
