TingYong Hong
Partner, Rajah & Tann Singapore LLP

Yong Hong specialises in “dry” shipping, commodities and trade
finance. He is regularly instructed by major trading houses,
transport and logistics companies, and banks in a wide range of
contentious and non-contentious matters.

 

His expertise includes bills of lading, charterparty, ship sale and
purchase, commodities, and trade finance disputes. Yong Hong
has also frequently been instructed by both banks and trade
creditors to advise on and coordinate complex cross-border
litigation in connection with the corporate insolvencies of major
commodities players, bunkers suppliers and shipowners. Many
of these cases involve investigating complex commercial /
banking fraud.

Not limited by his specialisation, Yong Hong acts in a wide range
of other contentious matters, including disputes in the hospitality
industry and in joint venture disputes.

As an advocate, he has argued cases before all levels of the
Singapore Courts, receiving praise from a full bench of the Court
of Appeal for his “candour and tenacity” in advancing his clients’
case. He is well-versed in international commercial arbitration,
having acted as counsel in SIAC, SCMA, HKIAC, LMAA and
LCIA arbitrations.

Yong Hong also regularly assists his clients in drafting and
reviewing all manner of commercial documents, including sale
and purchase contracts, charterparties, as well as facility
agreements, security documents and other loan documentation.

Yong Hong is recognised as an Accredited Specialist in Maritime
and Shipping Law under the Singapore Academy of Law
Specialist Accreditation Scheme.
