StraitNZ, owner of the Bluebridge Cook Strait Ferries, has appointed leading transport executive

Shane McMahon as its new CEO.

McMahon’s calibre to lead the group.

“Shane has extensive experience across the transport sector and a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities our business faces as a critical infrastructure provider,” says Dr Crauford.

Mr McMahon says he’s looking forward to working with the StraitNZ team and its’ partners in an industry he is passionate about.

“StraitNZ has a long and proud history within New Zealand’s transport sector and I’m looking forward to leading the group as it continues to provide important infrastructure services to New Zealand.” T&D
