The first Gottwald crane delivered in March was christened the K. ROBERTSON in honor of Senior Operations Manager Kerry Robertson. Mr. Robertson has been part of the Associated Terminals team for nearly a decade joining the company upon the acquisition of Gulf Coast Dockside. Mr. Robertson’s responsibilities include terminal operations and special projects.
David Fennelly, Director, provided the dedication of the crane to such a deserving team member. “Kerry is a great example of the “Ability and Attitude to Accomplish Anything. ”Whether it is managing an unloading operation in Theodore, AL or Corpus Christi, TX, overseeing construction projects or installing buoy systems and barge fleets, Kerry is the go to guy and the person that we can truly rely upon.”
The second Gottwald crane delivered in July was christened the F. WALKER in honor of Senior Operations Manager Frankie Walker. Mr. Walker has been with Associated Terminals for more than 14 years. He joined the company as a Ship Supervisor and today serves as Senior Operations Manager responsible for all stevedoring and terminal operations.
“Frankie is someone that our team relies upon greatly. His knowledge and experience are invaluable assets to our company,” stated Todd Fuller, President. “Frankie has played a key role not only managing our various operations, but also training and developing many of our operations team. He is a great example of the loyalty and commitment that make Associated Terminals a success.”
The K. ROBERTSON and F. WALKER are Associated Terminals’ fifth and sixth Gottwald cranes constructed during the past four years. The two cranes and barges are identical to the crane barges, ABILITY and ATTITUDE, which were christened in March of 2010.
