NEW ORLEANS - The T. Parker Host ship agency, stevedoring and terminal operations company announced plans April 12 to relocate its HQ from Norfolk, Va., to the Avondale Global Gateway in Jefferson Parish, La. The company, which services the maritime and commercial shipping industries, purchased the former Avondale Shipyard in 2018 and has brought it back as a global logistics hub. The Port of South Louisiana announced plans in January to purchase the site for $445M. The plan must pass muster with the state Bond Commission. Host CEO Adam Anderson, who moved to the New Orleans area several years, announced the news. Host also runs a ship agency in New Orleans and has teams in Port Allen and Davant, La. Currently, Host has more than 300 Louisiana employees. If the sale to PortSL happens, Host will retain operational responsibility for the facility.
