Global Ports Holding Limited (GPH) has appointed Andrew Stuart, Scott Auty and Florian Hubel to its Board of Directors, according to a press release.

These appointments support GPH’s strategic growth and new partnership initiatives following its recent privatization and delisting from the London Stock Exchange, the company stated.

Mehmet Kutman, chairman and CEO of Global Ports Holding, said: “We are excited to welcome Andy, Scott, and Florian to the Global Ports Holding board as non-executive directors. Their collective expertise in the cruise, transport, and infrastructure sectors will be invaluable as we continue to drive innovation and sustainable growth globally.”

Stuart, former President and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), brings over three decades of cruise industry expertise, with a background in expanding NCL’s market presence and enhancing passenger services. Stuart also serves on the board of an expedition cruise line and chairs the Boys and Girls Club of Miami-Dade. He holds a BSc in Catering Administration from Bournemouth University.
