THE port of Oakland's executive director Chris Lytle will remain at the helm through July 2019, after the port of Oakland commissioners unanimously approved extending Mr Lytle's contract for another three years.
Mr Lytle will continue to manage three primary businesses: a seaport, Oakland International Airport and a commercial real estate portfolio. All three achieved milestones under his direction in 2016, including 30-consecutive months of growing passenger traffic at the airport along with Oakland's first nonstop service to London.
An export rebound at the port of Oakland along with the first three visits of the 1,300-foot-long Benjamin Franklin, the largest cargo ship to ever visit the US, reported American Journal of Transportation.
"Chris Lytle has transformed the port of Oakland and raised its visibility as a centre for trade, transportation and economic vitality," said president of the board of port commissioners, Earl Hamlin.
Mr Lytle joined the port in 2013 after serving as executive director at the port of Long Beach. Before that, he worked as a shipping industry executive with CMA CGM, P&O Ports, APM Terminals and Sea-Land Service.
