Mark Moore
Mark has over 36 years of operational, technical and commercial experience in the transport and ISO container industry including working in over 20 countries
around the world. Roles have included design, manufacturing, maintenance and commercial experience with ISO-containers, tank containers & offshore containers and other intermodal equipment.
Additionally, Mark has specific regional experience including investigating the potential for an LNG network to be developed within South Africa through various intermodal transportation methods (including within ISO-containers being transported via sea, road and rail). This involved the development of a sophisticated technical and economic model which compared the various transportation methods, estimated demand, and required technology/infrastructure for several LNG import locations. The model highlighted the potential network development for each import location if LNG were to be brought in there.
Mark is experienced in all aspects of intermodal transport (for all transport modes – road, rail & sea). This knowledge is a cornerstone of his approach, which he uses to develop concepts, models and products for the transport industry. In his long career associated with transport and ISO-containers, Mark has always used a consultancy-based approach. He is highly skilled at first determining the key problems or issues that require solving and then to design and develop products and projects which address those problems. Mark commenced his consultancy career in the late 1980’s working on a feasibility study for the establishment of an ISO-container manufacturing facility in Turkey. In the 1990’s, Mark worked for 2 years (full time) for Celerant (at that time Peter Chadwick Ltd) as an implementation consultant specialising in manufacturing systems. Clients included UB Ross Youngs, Plaxton Coach & Bus and Lyons Bakeries.
