The Alabama Port Authority has announced the appointments of Alex King as Chief Operating Officer and Jason Krick as Chief Professional Engineer, effective March 1 and February 1, 2026, respectively. These appointments are aimed at strengthening the Port's operational and engineering leadership in light of increasing cargo volumes and a substantial capital investment program.

King succeeds Rick Clark, who is leaving for new opportunities. Krick, currently with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Mobile District, will oversee engineering and technical delivery for major capital projects. The leadership changes are part of a strategic plan to enhance operational execution and infrastructure reliability as the Port prepares for future growth.
