Kenagy picked to be No. 2 to Executive Director Cordero The Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners has appointed Duane Kenagy as the Port of Long Beach’s Deputy Executive Director. Kenagy most recently served as Interim Chief Executive, overseeing the nation’s second-busiest seaport during the search that ended in naming Mario Cordero as Executive Director. “Duane provided exceptional leadership during an important transition period at the Port of Long Beach,” said Harbor Commission President Lori Ann Guzmán. “It was exactly what the Board was hoping for, and this appointment is a reflection of Duane’s value and service. He will be an important adviser to Mario as the Port navigates important changes in the shipping industry.” Kenagy, who has more than 35 years of engineering and project management experience in the U.S. and overseas, joined the Long Beach Harbor Department in 2014 as the Port’s Capital Programs Executive, managing the Port’s major modernization projects, including the Gerald Desmond Bridge Replacement Project and the Middle Harbor Terminal Redevelopment. He was named Interim Chief Executive on Sept. 21, 2016. Prior to joining the Port, Kenagy worked for Moffatt & Nichol, a premier engineering consulting firm operating in 35 offices in seven countries, and was a key player in construction of the Alameda Corridor rail project. “Duane has done a commendable job leading the Port for these last eight months,” Cordero said. “I’m excited to work with someone who is so respected by the Commission, Port staff and our customers. His long history of guiding big maritime infrastructure projects will continue to be invaluable as we build the Green Port of the Future.” The Port of Long Beach is one of the world’s premier seaports, a gateway for trans­-Pacific trade and a trailblazer in goods movement and environmental stewardship. With 175 shipping lines connecting Long Beach to 217 seaports, the Port handles $180 billion in trade annually, supporting hundreds of thousands of Southern California jobs.
