Meet the
Commissioners
A
ppointed by the governor, the six members of the Maryland Port
Commission have a shared aim: to establish policies directed
toward improving the competitive position of the Port of Baltimore
within the international maritime industry. We recently asked the
Commissioners about their work: the most rewarding aspect of being
on the Commission, their greatest accomplishments and their goals moving forward.
Law, Dockser has long been active
in industry, charitable and political
activities and is currently Chairman of
the Dockser Family Foundation. He is an
avid sailboat racer, having won all four
International Rolex Regatta races in
St. Thomas in the same year.
Most rewarding aspect of being on the
Commission:
Being part of a wonderful
tradition of watching over the growth
and operations of the Port of Baltimore
for the State of Maryland. We must look
at today, next year and many years into
the future for the health of the economy
and our environment.
Greatest accomplishment with the
Commission:
Growing the business
of the Port in a sound financial way
(public-private partnership) and guiding
the future growth to maintain and grow
jobs, economic activity, and sound
environmental planning for the future.
Primary goal moving forward:
2012 was a great year for the Port.
2013 has a few issues that will unfold
in the months to come. We must stay
competitive in a tough economy for the
shipping industry.
