The Board of Commissioners of the Port of New Orleans (Port NOLA) has confirmed that Ronald J Wendel Jr, currently serving as Port NOLA s executive vice president and chief financial officer, will be acting president and CEO of Port NOLA and acting CEO of New Orleans Public Belt Railroad (NOPB), a Class III railroad and a subsidiary of Port NOLA, reports Greece's Container News.
Mr Wendel will assume his new roles in June, following the departure of the current president and CEO, Brandy Christian, who is set to become the CEO of Patriot Rail Company, a holding companies that controls more than 30 small shortline railways throughout the US.
Since joining Port NOLA in 2015, Mr Wendel has gained extensive experience and is well-prepared to ensure the continuity of key strategic initiatives, such as the US$1.8 billion Louisiana International Terminal project.
"We are confident in Wendel's experience and welcome the opportunity to work alongside him and the Port NOLA / NOPB teams to drive growth and success," said port board chairman Walter Leger.
Furthermore, Mr Wendel has played a crucial role in securing US$800 million in commitments from future private operators of the Louisiana International Terminal, Ports America and Terminal Investment Limited (TIL), the investment arm of MSC.
