Dent previously served for 20 years at container line ANL as general manager operations. In his new role he will be responsible for building relationships with the key commercial stakeholder of the new terminal.

Dent said that he is looking forward to contributing towards a project designed to improve Australia’s international competitiveness and create economic resilience for the Hunter Region and New South Wales.
