Beth Rooney to head Port of NY&NJ


The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has announced that Sam Ruda, who has presided over years of record-setting growth at the East Coast’s busiest seaport, is stepping down as director of the port department.

 

Maritime industry veteran Beth Rooney, who has more than three decades of experience and has been an integral part of the port department since 1993, has been appointed in his place. Having served as deputy director for the past three years, she will assume the director role as of 2 May 2022.

 

The port, which is the third in the USA in terms of size and performance, achieved record-breaking volumes while navigating significant challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. (cj)
