Appointment of new Head of Marine Operations at the Port of Dover

The Port of Dover has announced the appointment of Steven Masters as the new Head of Marine Operations.

Steven, a resident of East Kent, comes to the Port from Disney Cruise Line where he has held the role of Marine Operations Manager. He was previously Marine and Port Manager at Kent-based Saga Cruises.

Mr Masters said: "It is marvellous to return to my local area having gained some wonderful experience with some of the great cruise lines that have also called Dover their home. As a previous customer of the Port, I am now looking forward to utilising this insight to further enhance the fantastic customer service that the Port already provides.

"Living locally, I am aware of all the major development plans and the shared vision being developed in Dover. These are exciting times for the Port and Dover and I am thrilled to be coming on its journey."

Tim Waggott, Chief Executive, Port of Dover, said: "Steven brings with him a wealth of experience from some of our most valued customers. This will help us to develop and improve our product even more through a greater understanding of our customers' needs. I and the whole organisation welcome Steven as he joins team Dover."
