Steve Bomgardner joins the Bahamas Maritime Authority
The Bahamas Maritime Authority (BMA) has underlined its commitment to servicing the needs of its clients by appointing Captain Steve Bomgardner as a regional director and business development director. He will be responsible for leading the BMA’s presence in North America as well as developing markets globally for the registry.
The Americas is one of the largest markets for the passenger ship sector, an area in which The Bahamas is an important industry player. The islands are also a major market for the oil and gas offshore sector and remain the preferred flag for major LNG operators.
Captain Bomgardner has broad experience in this area. Captain Dwain Hutchinson, BMA’s managing director and CEO, said: “Bomgardner’s appointment demonstrates our commitment to enhancing our quality service delivery globally. His wealth of experience in maritime regulation, operations and delivering strategy and innovation will feed directly into this strategy." (mw)
