Foreign Representatives

Dominic was appointed as Representative of PhilaPort for Australia and New Zealand on July 1^st 2024.

Based in Sydney, Australia, Dominic assumes responsibility for promoting The Port of Philadelphia on a key container trade connecting Oceania with the USA since the early 1950s. Whilst a mature trade, Dominic will be seeking out all further opportunities to enhance Philadelphia’s status as the key commercial port for Australia/New Zealand.

Dominic had 32 years of shipping experience with Hamburg Sud/Maersk, primarily in trade, allocation and area management as well as new service developments. In that time, he lived and worked in the UK, South America (Chile 1991), Miami (1994-2005) before moving to Sydney as Regional Product Manager in 2005 and where the OC1/’Trident’ service between Oceania and Philadelphia occupied a key position. After the acquisition by Maersk he remained in trade management, taking on the Reefer Vertical position for the Asia-Pacific region.   In 2021 he left Maersk and began working part-time as an advisor for a strategic advisory firm (MPC International) specialising in the global supply chain sector, additionally coordinating as Secretary the Australian Coffee Traders’ Association (ACTA – Australia’s leading industry association covering coffee roasters and traders as well as associated services) and finally developing his own company offering classic car transport services.

Dominic now looks forward to assisting local clients in finding solutions to their trade needs when shipping to/from the dynamic East Coast markets and the Port of Philadelphia as its strategic gateway.
