Morup, Leschly boost major roro ferry operator management team
Two senior ropax appointments bring extensive experience to P&O Ferries as the operator strengthens its operations and freight business
P&O Ferries has strengthened its commercial passenger and freight management teams, naming Christina Morup COO and Peter Leschly chief commercial officer for freight.
Ms Morup joins P&O Ferries this month after almost 10 years with DFDS, serving most recently as director, head of Global Customer Service (freight and passenger).
As COO, she will lead operational performance across the business, strengthening alignment and collaboration between teams while helping deliver the company’s transformation and long-term strategic ambitions, said P&O Ferries.
Mr Leschly brings more than 20 years of leadership experience in ropax freight and logistics to P&O Ferries, most recently serving as senior vice president, B2B sales at Scandlines.
In his new role, he will be responsible for growing P&O Ferries’ freight business by strengthening the company’s commercial offering across key UK and European trade routes. Conducting more than 300 weekly sailings to eight ports, P&O Ferries handles over 1.2M freight units annually.
P&O Ferries CEO Kaspar Moos said the appointments would help deliver "excellent service for our customers, strengthening our operations and building a business that is fit for the future."
