Maersk Line appointed Omar Shamsie as the new president for North America effective 1 December.
A 28-year veteran of the world's largest container line, Shamsie was previously president of Maersk's Latin America and Caribbean units, and prior to that headed its Canadian operations.
“I’m honored and excited to take on this new position in a region that contributes to almost one-third of global trade, with a robust key client portfolio and limitless trade opportunities," Shamsie said.
