CLdN, which has recently relocated shipping operations from mainland Europe to the UK, as Afloat reported, has announced the appointment of Cameron Bowie as the new Chief Operating Officer for CLdN Shipping.

Next month, Cameron will join CLdN from the global container liner shipping company Hapag Lloyd, where he currently serves as the Managing Director UK & Ireland.

Cameron has been with Hapag Lloyd for 36 years and brings a wealth of experience in the maritime transport industry. His expertise and perspectives are particularly relevant for CLdN as we broaden our scope in short-sea container shipping and expand our presence in the UK, Irish, and broader European trades.

Gary Walker, the current Chief Operating Officer of CLdN Shipping, will leave his position for retirement this summer. Gary has been with CLdN since 1997 and has overseen a significant and successful expansion of their shipping operations during 12 years leading the company.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven't put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full-time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
