NOL moving to Phoenix

According to the company, the shift is part of NOL’s global strategy to place its cost structure on a more sustainable footing in the face of the current economic downturn.

“Phoenix will be a cost-effective base of operations for us,” said John Bowe, NOL’s regional president for the Americas. “Arizona will be a very convenient location from which to manage our operations throughout the Americas,” he added.

The Americas regional headquarters coordinates NOL’s shipping, terminals and logistics activities across North, Central and South America. While the regional headquarters office is moving, the company stressed that its shipping line, APL will continue to call regularly at its West Coast marine terminals in Oakland, Seattle and Los Angeles.
