Background

About Tom Dearie

As a duty port operations manager at Portsmouth International Port, I oversee the day-to-day operations of one of the UK's most dynamic and diverse ro-ro port environments. I have over 25 years of experience in port management, traffic supervision, and customer service, and I am passionate about delivering excellence and innovation in the maritime sector. My core competencies include change management, event management, and stakeholder engagement. I have successfully implemented several initiatives to improve the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of the port operations, such as introducing new terminal operating systems, coordinating major events and emergencies, and collaborating with internal and external partners. I am motivated by the challenge and opportunity of leading a high-performing team that supports the growth and development of the port and the region.
