Founded by Experts, Driven by Partnership

Learn more about the company and the team behind it.

Lightspeed Marine was forged from decades of diverse leadership experience across the maritime spectrum, both within Vietnam and internationally. Founders Victor Lee and Troy Hoang bring together a unique blend of expertise, united by a vision to redefine maritime support in Vietnam.

"They saw shipowners and managers grappling with fragmented service, inconsistent quality, and the challenge of finding a single partner who truly understood every angle."

Victor Lee, drawing on his background managing complex projects for Singapore's largest marine contractor and founding tech startups, saw the potential for greater efficiency and innovation in agency services. Troy Hoang, with his thirty years leading operations in a state-owned marine agency, knew firsthand the operational challenges and the paramount importance of consistent, reliable execution nationwide.

Together, they recognized a crucial gap: the need for a Vietnamese maritime partner that seamlessly integrates international best practices and structured management with unparalleled state-sector navigation and an owner's perspective, all delivered through steadfast, expert operational leadership across the country.

Driven by this shared insight, they founded Lightspeed Marine. Their mission:

"To create an agile, transparent, and deeply knowledgeable agency that leverages their combined strengths, acting as dedicated partners committed to making every Vietnamese port call smooth, efficient, and cost-effective."

Today, this unique synergy of structured innovation, deep local insight, and operational excellence drives everything we do.
