Dean Returns to Maritime Authority of Jamaica

The Maritime Authority of Jamaica is delighted to announce the return of its Director of Shipping Policy Eric Deans who has completed a Ph.D in Marine Policy at the University of Delaware.

Deans is well known throughout the shipping industry and has worked for the Maritime Authority of Jamaicafor 11 years. This month he resumes his responsibility as Director of Shipping Policy and Research and Registrar General for the Maritime Authority of Jamaica, which was administered in his absence by Seymour Harley, who now returns to his role as Registrar of Ships.

During his Ph.D studies Deans conducted timely and relevant research which focused on cargo flow dynamics - in particular, how containerized traffic is impacted by the Panama Canal expansion. During his sabbatical Deans also acted as Jamaica's representative to the IMO's Marine Environment Protection Committee and served as a member of the IMO Expert Group on market based measures to reduce ship emissions.
