COMMINGS & GOINGS AT THE PORT

With great regret and well wishes, we bid John Driscoll a fond farewell. He will be leaving his post as Maritime Director at the Port of Oakland and will be joining the Alabama State Port Authority as Executive Director on June 1st. John has been instrumental in many of the initiatives which have led to operational improvements at the port…night gates, appointments, cool port, seaport logistics complex, just to name a few. We personally thank him for his leadership and friendship. He will certainly be missed!

And, we also take this opportunity to welcome the new Manager of Business Development and International Marketing, Andrew (Andy) Hwang. Andy takes the helm of the maritime marketing (aka sales) unit of the port and will advance the port’s visibility with cargo owners and other stakeholders. We look forward to working with you Andy.
