Jonathan Daniels was named as executive director of the Maryland Port Administration (MPA)

by Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul J. Wiedefeld on December 20, 2023 following an

extensive national recruitment process that included a high-level executive search committee

and nationally recognized maritime executive search firm. Mr. Daniels came to Maryland after

serving as chief executive officer and port director since 2020 at Port Everglades in Broward

County, Florida and has more than 30 years of port and economic development experience.

As MPA executive director, Mr. Daniels oversees and manages the six state-owned, public

marine terminals of the Helen Delich Bentley Port of Baltimore. The marine terminals handle

autos, breakbulk, containers, cruise, farm and construction equipment, and forest products.

The Port of Baltimore ranks first among the nation’s ports for autos and light truck volumes, roll

on/roll off farm and construction machinery, and imported gypsum. With its 50-foot-deep

channel and supersized Neo-Panamax container cranes, Baltimore is one of the top container

ports in the nation and can handle some of the largest ships in the world. The Port of Baltimore

also offers a year-round cruise schedule that includes sailings from the world’s top cruise lines.

The MPA is the state’s leading creator of wetlands through its industry-renowned coastal

restoration dredging program, while its Clean Diesel initiative is removing thousands of tons of

emissions by upgrading dray trucks and cargo-handling equipment on the terminals.

The Port of Baltimore generates about 20,000 direct jobs, with about 273,000 jobs overall in

Maryland linked to Port activities. It is responsible for nearly $3.3 billion in personal wages and

salaries, $2.6 billion in business revenue and nearly $400 million in state and local tax revenue

annually.

At Port Everglades, Mr. Daniels led a $3 billion plan to expand business lines in containers,

energy, and cruise activity. Port Everglades is the 13th busiest container port in the U.S., the

busiest energy port in Florida and the third busiest cruise homeport in the world. It has an

annual economic impact of $33 billion and supports about 216,000 statewide jobs. Under Mr.

Daniels’ leadership, Port Everglades was a maritime industry stalwart in environmental

compliance.

During his tenure at Port Everglades, Mr. Daniels was a member of the Board of Directors for

Space Florida and was chair of the Florida Ports Council, representing Florida’s 15 public

seaports. He also served on the American Association of Port Authorities Board of Directors

and was that organization’s U.S. South Atlantic ports representative. Mr. Daniels served as a

board member of Green Marine, a voluntary environmental certification program that guides the

North American maritime industry towards environmental excellence. He was also a board

member of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Fort Lauderdale

Alliance, and an active member of the Alliance Partner Council.

Prior to working at Port Everglades, Mr. Daniels was executive director and CEO for the

Mississippi State Port Authority from 2013 to 2020. He oversaw a $570 million expansion and

reconstruction project and created a business development program that allowed the Port

Authority to successfully fulfill a federal job creation mandate to generate at least 1,300 new

jobs.

Before arriving in Mississippi, Mr. Daniels served as executive director of the Port of Oswego in

New York and managing director for the Port of Greater Baton Rouge, Louisiana and as port

director of the Eastport Port Authority in Maine.

Mr. Daniels is a strong proponent of economic and community development having served as

the chief executive officer of the Eastern Maine Development Corporation. He also served as a

member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston Community Development Advisory Committee.

Mr. Daniels earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science – International Politics and Foreign
