With deep sadness, Moran shares the passing of Philip Moran, former President of Moran Shipping Agencies and a fixture in the New England maritime community. Phil was at peace and surrounded by his family at the time of his passing. Phil joined Moran in 1963 as a boarding agent and held many positions over a career spanning nearly 60 years, including Operations Manager, Northeast Regional Manager, Vice President of Operations, President, and Member of the Board. In addition to his service at Moran, Phil served as an officer with both the Boston and Rhode Island Shipping Associations, Boston and Narragansett Bay Propeller Clubs, NAPA, and ASBA. His experience gave Phil a keen understanding of the Maritime industry, and this expertise guided countless agents throughout their time working with and learning from Phil. Phil Moran was a key figure in our company’s history, a mentor to many agents, and a friend to all those who met him. We send our deepest condolences to Phil’s family and loved ones and keep them in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

The final Greater Houston Port Bureau Commerce Club luncheon of the year was a hit with COL Rhett Blackmon of the US Army Corps of Engineers. USACE plays such a critical role in our #maritime infrastructure and hearing his updates on key dredging and design projects was valuable. Moran was happy to host friends from Shell, Mercuria, Campbell Transportation Company, Inc. and Jaguar Fueling Services, LLC.

Honoring Those Who Stand Watch: Our Veterans Today, we pause to recognize every man and woman who has served in our armed forces. At Moran Shipping, we deeply respect all military branches but extend special recognition to those who have served on the high seas. From the early days of our nation's history, maritime service members have faced the world's most unpredictable elements, protecting our shores and ensuring freedom and security far from home. Their dedication and resilience inspire our work every day. We are grateful to every sailor, marine, and coast guardsman who has stood the watch, secured our waterways, and upheld the call to duty with courage and honor. ? ? ? To all veterans, especially those who served at sea, we salute you. Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your example. May your bravery continue to guide us forward. #VeteransDay #MilitaryService #Honor #Maritime
