Ms. Su Yin Anand, Director of the Young Professionals in Shipping Network (YPSN), is a partner of a famous marime law
firm in Hong Kong. She is extremely passionate about helping young professionals as well as her specialised pracce of
logiscs and dry shipping dispute resoluon.
An all-important decision
Su Yin’s broad experience of living and working in different countries, parcularly Hong Kong, Singapore and London, has led
her to a deep, profound understanding of the relaonships of laws and regulaons between jurisdicons. In 2008, she made
an all-important decision to move from Singapore to Hong Kong in search of newer and beer opportunies and life. “I
could have gone to London,” she explained, “but since I already knew how to speak Cantonese and Mandarin, it was only
natural that I chose Hong Kong”
Living and working in Hong Kong
“Hong Kong is buzzing with acvies and a highly compeve market, but it is also a very social city,” Su Yin said. “If you are
looking for the Asia experience, but sll want the highlights of western living, the two outstanding places in the world are
Hong Kong and Singapore.” She felt that working in Hong Kong can be quite challenging if you cannot speak Mandarin or
Cantonese. However, for someone foreign to this place, even knowing a few words can go a long way to embracing the work
life here.
Network of young professionals
“In the marime industry you will find people who are highly movated and passionate about what they are doing. As far
as opportunies are concerned, the marime industry is always looking for new talents,” Su Yin said.
YPSN is an ideal plaorm for geng to know more people and networking. It is an incorporated non-profit organisaon of
like-minded, passionate and movated individuals in the area of shipping. It serves to facilitate young professionals to
interact and network with their peers and to promote the marime industry as a viable and excing path for the next
generaon. If you want to know more about YPSN, please visit hp://www.ypsnhk.com.
Rewarding career and opportunies in Hong Kong
For the young professionals, Su Yin said, “Don’t expect to take things for granted. If you work hard, and put in the hours, you
will gain the respect of your colleagues and this will lead to a very rewarding career.”
“Looking back, it was a right decision to come to work in Hong Kong. Get used to living in small spaces and high rent. But
you will find that Hong Kong has many opportunies and things to offer. Connue to work hard and enjoy what you do,” Su
Yin said.
