May-June 2010 edition of the Maritime Executive is NOW on the street. Joseph Corvelli, President and CEO of Gibdock, “The Jewel of Gibraltar,” graces our cover and talks about the rebranding of the 100-year old shipyard started by the Royal Navy. Gibraltar is an incredible maritime nation and ships from around the world anchor off its coast. While the Strait of Malacca might be considered the busiest crossroads of the shipping world, it’s hard to dispute the Strait of Gibraltar’s formidable traffic of 80,000 ships each year. It’s a shipyard with a historic past and a modern American CEO, Joseph Corvelli with a vision for this strategic asset. The issue’s Executive Achievement section features Dick Marler, President and CEO of Signal International. Marler, a shipbuilding veteran, has strategically positioned Signal’s shipyard facilities (Texas, Mississippi, and Alabama) to be a major player in the US Gulf of Mexico.
