Alex Siaw Way Chong

My name is Alex Chong Siaw Way. I am a Marine Project Superintendent with more than three years of experience in offshore construction, dredging operations, fleet management, technical compliance, and project execution.

Throughout my career at ASL Offshore & Marine Pte Ltd in Singapore, I progressed from Project Coordinator to Marine Project Engineer and eventually Marine Project Superintendent. In my most recent role, I managed operational and technical activities for a fleet of approximately 60 dredging and marine support vessels operating across Singapore and international projects.

My experience includes project coordination, vessel mobilization, dredging operations management, dry dock planning, classification compliance, procurement, logistics coordination, and stakeholder management. I have worked closely with vessel crews, shipyards, classification societies, clients, and suppliers to ensure safe and efficient project execution.

I have also been involved in international projects in Singapore, Indonesia, Madagascar, Malaysia, where I developed strong cross-cultural communication and problem-solving skills. Being able to communicate in English, Chinese, Malay, Bahasa Indonesia and Japanese has allowed me to effectively coordinate among multinational stakeholders and bridge communication between technical, operational, and commercial teams.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, have passed JLPT N2, and achieved a TOEIC score of 870. I am currently seeking opportunities where I can leverage my marine and offshore project experience while continuing to grow professionally in the renewable energy, offshore wind, marine engineering, or infrastructure sectors.

I am confident that my combination of technical knowledge, project management experience, and multicultural communication skills will allow me to contribute positively to your organization.
