From Perth to Halifax
The board of the Halifax Port Authority (HPA) has chosen its new president and CEO: Captain Allan Gray will be concluding his tenure as harbour master and general manager – operations of Fremantle Ports in Perth (Australia) and joining the Halifax Port Authority in Canada as president and CEO in late November 2019.
“Gray’s extensive experience in leading a large port with similar priorities and economic impact as our own, from container and bulk shipping to cruise and infrastructure expansion projects, will serve the growing Port of Halifax’s needs well,” says board chair Hector Jacques.
“I am excited to be joining the Port of Halifax, which is well-recognised around the world for being well-run and highly competitive,” says Gray, “I look forward to working with the board, staff, port partners and the community to support the development, alignment and implementation of the port’s vision and strategy to grow as Canada’s Ultra Atlantic Gateway.” (mw)
