Ports of Jersey has appointed Captain William Sadler, who joined the organisation in January 2015, to the position.
The news comes after it emerged in March that the current Harbourmaster, Captain Phil Buckley, was standing down in mid-June in order to return to the UK for family reasons.
Ports of Jersey said that Capt Sadler has worked ‘across a number of different sectors’, including with oil and gas tankers and passenger vessels.
Prior to joining Ports of Jersey, Capt Sadler spent 12 years – five of which were in command – with the charity Trinity House, which is dedicated to safeguarding shipping and seafarers, as well as providing education, support and welfare to the seafaring community.
Capt Sadler and his wife, Claire, live in St Lawrence with their children, Sophia (11) and Alex (9).
