_____________________

On April 21, 2024, the Bangladeshi community in Singapore lost one of their guardians, Mr. Zafrul Alam, the iconic legendary Bangladeshi mariner, who breathed his last at his residence in Singapore.

Mr Zafrul Alam after a sea career of 8 years and having finally sailed as Chief Engineer of ocean-going vessels joined Singapore Marine Department in 1980. He Served 34 years in Singapore Maritime Administration including 4 years as Singapore’s representative to IMO and First Secretary (Maritime), Singapore High Commission, London. He was the Vice Chair for International Maritime Organisation, Marine Environment Protection Committee in 1999 and 2000.

He had a long-distinguished career of 42 years in the maritime field and contributed greatly to certification and policy matters. He was affectionately known by his international Iarine Colleagues as the “MARPOL Man”. He retired as Assistant Director Shipping Regulation & Development of Maritime & Port Authority in 2014.

He was the President of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, Singapore in 1993 and 1994. He also served as President of Singapore Bangladesh Society in 2008 and 2009 and the Founding President of Bangladeshi Marine Community, Singapore in 2014-15.

He is a recipient of three National Day Awards. For his distinguished service and work of special significance he was awarded the Efficiency Medal in 1992. He is also the recipient of the Public Administration Medal (Bronze) 2002 and The Long Service Medal 2006
