            Senior management changes 
 
Global Ports Holding PLC, the world's largest cruise port operator, is 
pleased to announce a number of changes to its senior management team. 
 
Having introduced port and destination services across our portfolio and 
having been part of the development of our guest services and retail 
operations, Mark Robinson is moving to head up our business development 
efforts in EMEA and Asia Pacific. 
 
As a result, Mert Basar has joined the company to take on the role of Chief 
Commercial Officer. Mert has spent his recent years as Chief Commercial 
Officer at IGA- Istanbul Airport. In this role Mert designed and executed 
the commercial strategy, overseeing both aeronautical and non-aeronautical 
services at one of the world's largest airport projects. Before this, he has 
held a number of senior executive roles at Turkey's leading 
telecommunications companies such as Turk Telecom and Turkcell and for one 
of the world's leading technology companies, HP. 
 
Commenting on the changes, Emre Sayin, Chief Executive Officer, said: 
 
" I look forward to Mark's input from his new and exciting role. I expect 
Mark's wealth of cruise industry experience will prove to be invaluable to 
our business development aspirations in both EMEA and Asia-Pacific. 
 
I am also delighted to welcome Mert to our team. His experience and 
knowledge of commercial operations at such an important aviation hub will be 
invaluable in helping us deliver on our short and medium-term objectives for 
ancillary services across the business."
