Lake Charles Stevedores changes name to P&O Ports Lake Charles
The Lake Charles, La., division of P&O Ports North America, formerly known as Lake Charles Stevedores, Inc., has a new name: P&O Ports Lake Charles.
The division will continue as the exclusive freight handler for the Port of Lake Charles, providing terminal, stevedoring, log-yard and rail operations.
The change occurred because “we want to unify the P&O Ports brand throughout North America,” said Dave Morgan, P&O Ports senior vice president for the Gulf region.
P&O Ports North America has also appointed Michael Kearney Jr. as port vice president at its Lake Charles facility. Kearney was vice president of ship services with Wood Resources Corporation in New Orleans.
Facilities of the Port of Lake Charles encompass 203 square miles in Calcasieu Parish and accommodate five million tons of cargo annually.
