Blair Garcia

Ports are continually evolving, expanding and renovating while participating as key nodes on the cargo supply chain and cruise/ferry transit networks. To be successful, our clients must focus on all transportation elements that connect ports (vessel, rail and road). This perspective is key to effectively provide professional port and maritime services.

As director of our Ports & Maritime market, Blair leads a practice that has provided professional services for more than 450 marine terminals across the world and is ranked among the top designers for port facilities by Engineering News-Record. 

Blair has spent three decades in the ports and maritime industry, helping port and intermodal rail clients on six continents and at most of the deep-water ports in the U.S. He was also one of the first consultants accepted into the American Association of Port Authorities’ (AAPA) Port Professional Manager (PPM) program. As port authorities and operators encounter new challenges and opportunities from implementation of new technologies to constantly changing supply chain alignment, Blair's focus is on delivering pragmatic solutions to help clients prepare for a strong future.

Well known in the maritime industry, Blair is active in professional associations such as AAPA, NATO's Transportation Group and the American Society of Civil Engineers' Coasts, Oceans, Ports & Rivers Institute (COPRI). He's a regular speaker at industry conferences, recognized as a leader in maritime planning dedicated to quality projects and delivering exceptional client experiences.
