RUSSIA's biggest container shipping company, Fesco, has appointed Mike Evans as president of Seattle-based Fesco Agencies North America, replacing Aspi Rostami, who stays on as advisor.

Mr Evans, a 20-year veteran of the company, most recently worked as director of sales and marketing. In his new role, he is responsible for the overall direction of Fesco Agencies North America.

Mr Evans oversees management of the company's liner, intermodal, logistics and container operations servicing the regions of North America and the Far East, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Korea, China, Australia, the Baltic region and the Black Sea.

As director, sales and marketing, Mr Evans managed the commercial activity, as well as services operating between North America, Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, and the Russian Far East.

"Mike Evans brings in-depth industry knowledge and experience to the position, especially as it relates to doing business to and from Russia and all phases of our business," said Mr Rostami.
