Maritime boosts management team with four new appointments

Maritime Transport has strengthened its senior management team with a series of new appointments, including former non-executive director Chris Lewis, who joins as deputy chairman, after leaving his interim post as chief executive of the Port of Felixstowe, 12 months before the end of his contract.

Lewis, whose former posts include UK chief executive for DP World, brings nearly 40 years’ experience in the ports, terminals, and shipping industry to his new role.

Announcing his re-appointment, Maritime Transport said Lewis’s brief is to help the business to foster “closer relationships” with the ports industry and mentoring the “next generation of Maritime executives”, the company said.
