He is coming back to LR after working for three years as the General Manager (Fleet) at Pacific International Lines (Pte) Ltd (PIL). At PIL, he was in charge of managing the daily work of 100 container ships. Before this, Goh had worked at LR from 2005 to 2012 as Marine Operations Manager in Singapore.
