This includes the health, safety and well-being of our seafarers which has always been, and will continue to beat the top of our priorities, especially during this Covid-19 period. I trust that Chung Hun will be a worthy torch-bearer for these founding principles. We would also like to thank Captain Minhas for his over 17 years of dedicated service to PIL. In his most recent role as General Manager of Fleet Division, among other achievements, he was instrumental in streamlining PIL's fleet management processes, improving the monitoring of vessels and ensuring PIL's compliance with IMO sulphur regulations.
