ContainerPort Group Welcomes Lisa McCaffrey to Team

CLEVELAND, OH (April 22, 2015) – ContainerPort Group, Inc. (CPG) announces the addition of Lisa McCaffrey as she joins the CPG team as Regional Business Development Manager – Ohio Valley.

“CPG’s Ohio Valley operations play a pivotal role in our company’s inland service offerings, and I am thrilled to have Lisa’s abilities to aid in growing that business. Her experience will ensure that we continue to provide the best service possible to our customers in this area,” says CPG Senior VP Commercial, Jim Kramer.

McCaffrey joins CPG from parent company World Shipping, where she worked as an agency representative for CSAV and United Arab Shipping. With nearly 25 years of experience in the global shipping business, she has elevated from her initial role – where she provided sales support – to traveling the world as she built critical relationships with multinational corporations, implemented sales strategies, conducted contract negotiations and all the while exceeded her customers’ expectations.

In her new role, McCaffrey will continue to work out of CPG’s Cleveland office with account responsibilities for trucking services in that market as well as Detroit, Columbus, Cincinnati and Louisville.

“Great customer relationships are built on trust,” says McCaffrey, “Once you build that trust, your client knows that you’ll deliver for them time and time again. I always listen to the customer to know their needs – and then I build upon them to give them service they won’t receive through a competitor.”

ContainerPort Group Promotes Vince Kraus to Directorial Role

CLEVELAND, OH (January 20, 2015) – ContainerPort Group, Inc. (CPG) is pleased to announce the promotion of Vince Kraus to the newly created position of Director of Terminal Services.

Kraus’ expanded role will have him managing terminal services in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit, Louisville, Indianapolis & St. Louis. He will continue to report to Glenn Fehribach (Senior Vice President – Midwest) in his new role.

This promotion underscores a seminal moment in CPG’s continued growth & evolution in its container-yard (CY) service offerings that are so critical to the international supply chain (in particular to the ocean carriers, leasing companies, chassis owners, as well as the truck drayage community).

“Vince is ideally suited to lead our Terminal Services group with his 19+ years of hands-on experience in the business,” says Fehribach. “Over his career, he has worked in nearly all of CPG’s container-yards at one time or another (in addition to several rail yards), either working on or managing everything from gate inspections to running a yard hostler to operating a container lift machine to M&R administration.”

Kraus’ hard work was recognized and rewarded in 2006 when he was named Terminal Manager in Louisville, again in 2009 when he was named Regional Manager (Louisville, Indianapolis, and St. Louis) & more recently in 2013 as Regional Manager (Cincinnati, Columbus, and Louisville).

Kraus is well respected within the World Group of Companies & importantly, by many of their steamship line, leasing company, and chassis-pool customers. Vince is also involved in the intermodal industry through his service on IANA’s Safety Task Force Committee.
