After significant growth in the number of cruise ports it operates in recent years and with a strong pipeline of new port opportunities, Global Ports Holding Plc ("GPH" or "Group"), the world's largest independent cruise port operator, has reorganised its cruise operations under a new Regional structure. Under the new structure, three Regional Directors will be appointed to manage East Mediterranean, West Mediterranean and Americas regions.

Michael Maura Jnr who has recently joined the Group will become Regional Director - Americas.

Our new Regional Directors will report into Stephen Xuereb, Chief Operating Officer.

It reflects our growing operations and will help provide a strong platform for our next stage of growth, while maintaining operational discipline across the current portfolio. I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate our Regional Director's for their new roles and to welcome Michael Maura Jnr to the GPH team."
