Foss Maritime announced that Paul Gallagher will be rejoining the Foss team to work in the commercial services group on major transportation project opportunities.

Paul brings more than twenty-five years of experience within the maritime industry, and during his career he has been involved in all aspects of maritime operations and cargo transportation.

Paul began at Foss in 1991 and served in a variety of roles including Director of Sales for Marine Transportation, PNW Regional Operations Manager and Director of Oilfield Services. He managed business development and service delivery in support of project logistics for heavy lift cargo transportation for upstream oil and gas projects.

During the past few years, Paul has been the Director of Project Services at TOTE Logistics and has worked collaboratively with Carlile, Totem Ocean Trailer Express, Delta Western, Northern Air Cargo and Foss Maritime on a wide variety of projects in Alaska, Canada and the lower 48 states. For the past year Paul has been on assignment with a key oil and gas client in Anchorage as a marine logistics resource and consultant.

"The addition of Paul to the commercial services group, coupled with our extensive resources in project management, helps round out the Maritime Solutions campaign we inaugurated in 2010," said Gary Faber, Senior Vice President.

Paul grew up in Maine as the son of fisherman and attended Maine Maritime Academy where he earned a BS in Nautical Science. He resides in Seattle with his wife and three children.
