The long-embattled State Ports Authority has narrowed it down to five choices for the position of new chief executive, with Jim Newsome, president of Hapag Lloyd's America division, the front-runner.
Read more stories on this subject in our port topic page.The new hire comes at a time of change as port restructuring discussions continue and Maersk Line announced it is pulling out of the port in December.
For more on Newsome and the port, take a gander at The Post and Courier's article.
The paper also has a piece on Newsome and a column about giving the new guy some room to lead.
The Business Journal also has some reaction to the move.
