ShoreLink expands UK management as ports introduce electric power

ShoreLink has hired Richard Davidson as its new regional manager for the UK, Ireland and Commonwealth states.

He brings more than 20 years of experience across maritime infrastructure, offshore energy, engineering, and commercial leadership.

This includes roles in power technology producer Echandia and Global Marine Service Group, plus as managing director at Harland & Wolff and director of business development at UK Ports.

His appointment comes as the maritime and ports industries are installing more shore power infrastructure to reduce emissions in harbours.

ShoreLink said Mr Davidson would work closely with ports, terminals, vessel operators, contractors, utilities and industry partners throughout the UK, Ireland and Commonwealth markets.
