Established in 1990 by our founder, Mr. Tan Po Kun, Eng Lee Shipping has had over 35 years of experience under his belt in handling containerized, general, bulk and project cargo, as well as ship-building and repairs. From our humble beginnings as a small barge operator, we have now expanded to a large fleet of over 312 vessels, which include tugboats, barges, pusher tugs and barges, container vessels, bulk carriers and SPOB.

Our robust service network is supplemented by our value-added facilities, which include shipyards (for repairs and shipbuilding), jetties and warehouses. We are also licensed jetty owners and operators and container yard terminal operators, as well as our own trucking, stevedoring and supplementary wharf labor services.

Annually, we have shipped over +/- 500,000 TEUS of containers and 1,250,000MT of breakbulk cargo, project cargo and special handling cargo across Singaporean, Malaysian and Indonesian ports.

Our services are duly tailored to meet customer’s needs and requirements to ensure the most optimal delivery services and seaworthy vessels.
