Harriat 'Harry' Maragh
The local and international shipping communities have been plunged into mourning on the news of the death of Harriat Maragh, Chairman and CEO of Lannaman & Morris Group of Companies.
‘Harry’, as he was affectionately called, died suddenly on Sunday evening. The Calabar High School old boy had worked in the industry for over 40 years.
Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett has described Maragh as a stalwart in the tourism and shipping industries and the “consummate professional”.
“This is indeed a great loss for our industry and he will be truly missed,” Bartlett said in a statement Tuesday.
Maragh’s company, Lannaman & Morris is credited as the shipping agent for cruise lines such as Carnival Cruise, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Holland America, Costa Cruises and Aida Cruises. He is also the founding manager of the Ocho Rios Cruise Ship Terminal.
