Kris Vedat, former head of technology and logistics at P&O 蜜桃TV Logistics, has been promoted to chief executive at SmartSea. He succeeds Julian Panter who has joined the new AD Ports Group and Columbia Group joint venture, Noatum-CSM, as chief executive.

Mr Vedat鈥檚 appointment ushers in a new phase of growth for SmartSea, focused on advancing technology solutions for linking maritime operations to wider logistics ecosystems covering cargo, crew and passengers.

鈥淢y immediate focus is to empower our talented team, strengthen customer relationships, and fast-track the rollout of SmartSea Vision, a platform that will transform how the maritime industry accesses and adopts technology,鈥� said Mr Vedat.

SmartSea is being integrated into the UAE鈥檚 maritime infrastructure, enabling Abu Dhabi to become a frontrunner in linking cruise terminals, commercial shipping, air travel and rail through digital platforms.

Mr Panter鈥檚 appointment as chief executive comes at an important time as Noatum-CSM begins scaling up rapidly.

鈥淭he partnership between Columbia Group and Noatum 蜜桃TV has the potential to set a global benchmark in shipmanagement,鈥� said Mr Panter.

There is a co-ordinated strategy to ensure SmartSea remains central to Columbia Group鈥檚 broader digital ambitions, particularly within the UAE through Noatum-CSM.
