(Posted on 10/01/23)

Ports Minister Rita Saffioti has announced Samuel McSkimming as the new CEO of the Pilbara Ports Authority.

Mr McSkimming brings significant experience to the role with more than a decade at Aurizon, Australia's largest rail freight operator.

Mr McSkimming will take over from current CEO Roger Johnston, whose term expires on 30 June 2023.

"The Pilbara Ports Authority play an integral role to the State, national and global economies and Mr McSkimming brings considerable experience to the role, with more than a decade at Aurizon.

"There is a significant amount of work to be delivered at our Pilbara ports, as we look to expand and diversify our exports, and I look forward to working closely with Mr McSkimming as we deliver a number of important projects.

"I'd also like to thank Roger Johnston for guiding the Pilbara Ports Authority for the past 10 years, particularly through the challenges of the COVID pandemic.

"Roger's leadership and strategic thinking has been integral to the growth of our Pilbara ports, and I wish him all the best for the future."
