Commenting on the appointment of Mr Wong, the Secretary for the Civil Service, Mrs Ingrid Yeung, said, "Mr Wong was a seasoned directorate civil servant who had served in the Marine Department for almost 28 years. He has fully demonstrated his outstanding leadership and management skills, extensive maritime experience, and in-depth knowledge of the shipping industry throughout his service, especially during his tenure as the Acting Director of Marine. I have every confidence that Mr Wong will continue to lead the Marine Department to provide high-quality services to the public and meet future challenges.
