TasPorts has secured the continued leadership of Captain Allan Gray, with Shareholder Ministers approving the Board’s recommendation to extend his appointment as Chief Executive Officer through to 1 December 2027.
TasPorts’ Chair Greg McCann said the Board was pleased to retain a leader of Captain Gray’s calibre.
“Captain Gray was initially appointed to provide leadership continuity while the Board undertook a comprehensive and competitive recruitment process for the permanent CEO role,” Mr McCann said.
“Following completion of that process, and based on Captain Gray’s performance leading the organisation, the Board determined that retaining him provides the strongest outcome and is in the best interests of TasPorts.
“We are fortunate to have secured Captain Gray’s experienced maritime leadership as TasPorts progresses a significant program of infrastructure investment, operational improvement and strategic delivery.”
Captain Gray brings more than four decades of maritime and port experience and has provided strong strategic direction, operational leadership and stability since joining TasPorts in March 2026.
Mr McCann said continuity of experienced leadership was critical as TasPorts continued delivering major projects and strategic priorities that support Tasmania’s trade and economic growth.
“The Board will undertake a future recruitment process ahead of the conclusion of Captain Gray’s tenure to ensure TasPorts' next phase of leadership aligns with the organisation's future needs and strategic direction. At present, the Board's focus is ensuring TasPorts continues to benefit from Captain Gray’s expertise and leadership during this important period.”
