After being appointed interim president on Jan. 1, Kurt Slocombe has now been named permanent CEO and president of the Prince Rupert Port Authority.
Slocombe was named interim president following the departure of Shaun Stevenson in December 2025. He has been vice-president of operations, planning and infrastructure at the port since 2019. In 2007, he moved to Prince Rupert as part of the team that launched operations at the Fairview Container Terminal. During his time at the terminal, he served as director of operations and director of the Gateway Operations Centre.
Slocombe will help grow and expand the future of the port, said Prince Rupert Port Authority board chair Peter Lantin.
“Kurt brings strong leadership, knowledge and experience to guide the organization at a time when the Port of Prince Rupert plays a significant role in enabling Canadian trade. Kurt’s understanding of our operations and long-standing commitment to the Prince Rupert community qualify him to lead the team.”
Being named CEO and president was an honour, said Slocombe.
“I’m honoured to be appointed CEO and president of the Prince Rupert Port Authority. This port matters to people in Prince Rupert and to communities and businesses across the country, and I’m looking forward to working with our team and partners to build on the strong work already underway.”
