About Tenglee Marine & Engineering
Tenglee Marine & Engineering Pte Ltd. is envisioned by Mr. Teng Soon Kiat and his four brothers, who pursued their dream of joining the maritime industry to establish a trusted brand of quality shipbuilders. Beginning as a small company, the brothers built up the business and experienced the challenges of the marine industry first-hand. Working in compliance with the numerous regulations governing the industry, Tenglee also weathered the economic cycles of the marine sector, which typically last about 8 to 9 years, and has successfully sustained its operations to this day. Surviving the highs and lows of the maritime industry, Tenglee gained valuable experience and became a reliable brand in shipbuilding. The company prides itself on delivering projects on time with the utmost quality.
"We are proud of the fact that we deliver on time, thereby earning the complete trust of our shipowner clients, including the prestigious Keppel Shipyard."
