Marseille Fos CEO leaves to rejoin CMA CGM

Christine Cabau Woehrel is leaving her post as CEO of the Marseille Fos port authority with effect from March 12, 2019, on completion of her five-year term of appointment with a successor due to be named in the coming weeks.

Cabau Woehrel is rejoining Marseilles-based shipping giant CMA CGM to become director of assets, with main responsibility for the management of more than 500 vessels, newbuildings, the container fleet, intermodal assets and the group’s terminals.

She began her career with the carrier in 1987, leaving in 2011 to work as a transport consultant.  She was appointed CEO of the Port of Dunkirk the following year before moving to leading French port Marseille Fos in 2014.
