Port of Tauranga Ltd (NZX:POT) has appointed Brodie Stevens – departing Swire Shipping/China Navigation Company country manager – to the board of directors.
Port of Tauranga chair David Pilkington said Stevens’ extensive shipping and logistics sector experience would be invaluable to the board.
Stevens trained as a lawyer and then joined Freightways Group as a management trainee in 1982. He spent 10 years at Freightways and was national marketing manager for Post Haste before joining Owens Group. He was divisional general manager of Seatrans New Zealand and Owens Shipping Services during his 12 years at Owens Group
He joined China Navigation Company (trading as Swire Shipping) in 2004. During his tenure, the company expanded into freight forwarding, shipping agency, and stevedoring.
Stevens said he was looking forward to joining the port company: “The maritime sector is in my blood, with a family business history in stevedoring and shipping.
“I have had a long association with Port of Tauranga through my previous roles and I’m looking forward to being on board for the next stage of its growth,” he said.
