Veteran Port Executives Join Cargo Team at Port Canaveral

Canaveral Port Authority has hired two veteran port executives to help expand cargo business development and terminal operations at Port Canaveral.

Alberto Cabrera joins Canaveral as the Senior Director of Cargo Business Development and will oversee cargo marketing strategy to expand container, ro/ro, bulk and break bulk operations. He is the former director and general manager of trade development and marketing for JaxPort, where he worked for the past 10 years.

George Arocha is the new Director and General Manager of Cargo and Terminal Operations and will be responsible for providing customer service to existing cargo clients, managing projects and overseeing operations of Canaveral’s new container terminal facilities. For the past 13 years, he managed the Port of Miami Terminal Operating Company, coordinating daily operations at a multi-user container terminal.

Shannon Feeley came to Port Canaveral as a Communications intern in 2003 and since that time assumed increasing levels of responsibility within business development with a focus on cargo operations. Today, she is the Assistant Director of Cargo Business Development. She will continue her efforts in creating contacts and identifying growth opportunities for Port Canaveral, in addition to partnering with Cabrera in creating and executing Canaveral’s cargo business development strategy.
