Sea Star lures Taylor from Tropical

   Sea Star Line said this week that it has appointed Tropical Shipping veteran Bill Taylor to head its U.S. sales team as vice president.
   Prior to joining Sea Star, Taylor held sales and leadership positions with international carriers CAST, Lykes Lines and CP Ships. He was most recently responsible for managing Tropical Shipping’s eastern Caribbean service.
   “We are extremely pleased to have Bill on board as he brings 30 years of sales experience in the ocean transportation industry.” said Peter Keller, Sea Star Line president.
   In another move, Eduardo Pagan has been named vice president and general manager for Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. Pagan was previously vice president of commercial services.
   “These organizational changes continue to focus management on our U.S., Puerto Rican, and Caribbean customers’ needs,” Keller said.
