Global Ports Holding PLC, the world’s largest cruise port operator, announced the appointment of Martin Brown as investor relations director. He will be based in the UK and will report directly to ceo, Emre Sayın.

Brown brings extensive capital markets experience to Global Ports Holding Plc having worked in this field for almost 20 years, as both an equity analyst and investment manager. He was awarded the CFA Charter in 2007.

'GPH has a unique position in the market and is undertaking an important period of development as it grows. I look forward to working with the GPH team to enhance our interactions with the investment community,' noted Brown.

GPH has been strengthening its global team (cruise veteran’s Mark Robinson and Colin Murphy have recently joined the company in key roles).

GPH's portfolio consists of investments in 15 ports in 7 countries and continues to grow steadily. Most recently it was awarded a concession by the Port Authority of Zadar to operate its Gazanica cruise and passenger port for a duration of 20 years, subject to final agreement.
