APP joins with American Samoa Port Administration in mourning the loss of Christopher J. King
The APP was saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Chris King, Director of the Department of Port Administration, American Samoa. As a long-time active member of the Association of Pacific Ports, American Samoa has contributed greatly to providing insights and issues of importance for Pacific Islands. Chris played a large role in shaping the Association’s activities through his participation on the APP Executive Committee and it was through this role that many of our members came to know him. On being advised of Chris’ passing, fellow Committee members were quick to send prayers and condolences to his family and the AS port community. He will be sadly missed by all.
