SPOTLIGHT’S ON!

New Tropical President Sees Bright Future Ahead

In January, Mike Pellicci took over the helm at Tropical Shipping, as only the fourth president in the history of the 48-year-old shipping company.

Mr. Pellicci began his career at Tropical in March 2006 as the Chief Financial Officer. In 2008, he was also charged with heading Tropical’s highly successful acquisition program. This strategic program has enabled Tropical to continue offering superior levels of service to a larger customer base in the midst of a difficult economic environment.

Prior to Tropical, Mr. Pellicci was Senior Vice President—Finance & Planning, Treasurer and Chief Accounting Officer at Seabulk International, which was a publicly traded marine transportation company until Seacor acquired it.

An avid reader and sometime golfer, Mike most enjoys spending time with his wife Suzanne and sons, Michael, 8, and Alexander, 5.

“I’m excited about this opportunity and very optimistic about the future,” he said. “I want everyone to be confident that we will build on our successful legacy here at Tropical.”

Growing the business

As a result of Tropical’s history of thoughtful investment, Mike sees great things ahead for the company.

In August 2011, Tropical christened and launched a new 368-TEUs vessel built by the world-renown CSC Shipbuilding Company. The new ship arrived at the Port of Palm Beach carrying 225 new refrigerated containers and is employed in Tropical’s Bahamas’ trade.

“These new assets – the vessel and containers -- are truly representative of our commitment to moving forward, to building our business and to improving services for our customers. Investing in our company is at the heart of our plans for future growth and expansion,” Mr. Pellicci said.

Focus on customer

Mike’s vision for Tropical is to continue to be the leader in dependable, on-time containerized cargo transportation services to the Bahamas and the Caribbean through innovative customer-connected solutions and continued support for growth and expansion. His key priorities will be to provide superior customer experience, as well as to optimize system-wide service reliability and asset utilization as part of Tropical’s total supply chain.

“Everything we do, every value we stand for, every course of action we take, is intended to deliver the highest level of service to our customers,” Mr. Pellicci said. “From booking and cargo tracking to delivering cargo on time, we’re focused on reliability—on doing what we say. If we promise a shipment will arrive on a specific date, our customers can trust it will happen.”

‘People first’

Just like his predecessors, Mike sees Tropical’s record of employing quality people and maintaining a culture of high integrity as one of the company’s greatest assets.

“We value diversity in our culture, opinions and personal styles, and believe they make us a stronger, more successful company,” Mr. Pellicci said. “Putting people first is one of our core values and will always be a very important focus for us, which is why we will continually look to increase opportunities for everyone at Tropical.”
