APMT appoints Mitchell as COO

Mitchell, a British national, brings with him nearly two decades of expertise in the container industry, including experience in all aspects of terminal and vessel operations, intermodal transportation and logistics.

Along with a broad range of senior positions within the A.P. Moller-Maersk Group, including 15 years with the Maersk Company UK, Ltd., he served as a director for Forth Ports Ltd., before returning to Maersk Line in 2004. At APMT, Mitchell replaces Tiemen Meester in the post of CCO, following Meester’s move to head human resources earlier this year.

Mitchell commented: “I am looking forward to working with the leading shipping companies and ports of the world and understanding their requirements better as we continue to expand to meet the needs of our customers.”
