Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has appointed Dale S. Revelle to the Board of Commissioners of the Port of New Orleans.
Revelle was sworn in during the October board meeting and will serve a five-year term, succeeding Walter J. Leger Jr. as one of four Orleans Parish representatives on the seven-member regional board.
Beth Branch, Port NOLA President and CEO & New Orleans Public Belt CEO, said that Dale Revelle brings decades of maritime industry experience and a proven commitment to trade, transportation, and the economic vitality of the region.
Port Commissioners also serve as Commissioners of the New Orleans Public Belt Railroad board, and Revelle will become NOPB’s newest commissioner with this appointment.
NOPB, a Class III switching railroad, is an independent political subdivision of the state of Louisiana with the primary mission of serving the Port of New Orleans and local industries.
Revelle commented that he looks forward to working alongside his fellow commissioners to further enhance Port NOLA’s role as a leading gateway for global commerce.
Revelle is President of DSR Properties, LLC and previously served as President of Revelle Shipping Agency, Inc., where he oversaw vessel operations, disbursement accounting, and international trade relations from 1980 to 2003.
He has worked with a wide range of global clients, including Onego Shipping and Chartering, Roymar Shipping, Halliburton, Rain Carbon, Jumbo Maritime, and Suntory International.
