Upon graduating from PolyU in 1998, Mr Law Lap-keung joined Orient Overseas Container Line Co. Ltd. as a deck cadet and has worked his way up to be a qualified Master Mariner within ten years. Driven by a passion for public service, his eagerness to contribute to the Nation, and his zeal to pursue sustainable development in ports and the shipping industry, Mr Law joined the Marine Department of the HKSAR Government in 2008. Since then, he has been promoted from Marine Officer to Assistant Director, now overseeing large-scale projects and port operations, as well as the formulation of new plans for port optimisation, personnel training and further education.
