Arctic Directory March 2016: Foss Maritime welcomes new chief operating officer

Foss Maritime is pleased to announce that John Parrott will be joining the Foss executive team as chief operating officer.

Parrott comes to Foss from sister company, TOTE Maritime Alaska, where he has served as president for 16 years. In his new role as Foss’ COO, Parrott will be responsible for overseeing key operating divisions, developing and delivering on strategic plans, and optimizing day-to-day operations through implementation of best practices throughout the organization.

“We are thrilled to have John join us in our corporate office after the first of the year,” said Paul Stevens, president and CEO of Foss Maritime. “John is a maritime industry veteran who is well known to us at Foss. We look forward to having his expertise and experience on board.”

After 10 years sailing aboard a wide range of vessels in trade routes around the world, Parrott began at TOTE Maritime in 1992 as the chief mate of the SS Northern Lights. In 1994 he came ashore, and later became the general manager for Sea Star Stevedore, which manages the loading, discharge and terminal operations for TOTE Maritime. In 2002, Parrott returned to TOTE Maritime as the Alaska general manager, where he was soon promoted to vice president/general manager, then vice president of commercial before being named president of TOTE Maritime Alaska in 2009.

Parrott has a BS degree in Marine Transportation from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy; Kings Point, New York, and an MBA from Seattle University.
