Andy Stephens has been promoted to Vice President, Business and Planning Development, where he will be responsible for developing initiatives for the consolidated business activities of Foss Maritime. Stephens, who joined the company in 1993, will also become chief of staff to Foss Maritime COO and President Gary Faber.

Magill is a graduate of New York Maritime College with a Bachelor of Engineering and holds an Unlimited Engineering License.
