Algoma Central Corp. replaces chief executive following resignation

Feb 11, 2019

ST. CATHARINES, Ont. - Algoma Central Corp. says its president and chief executive has resigned after less than four years with the Great Lakes and ocean shipping company.

The St. Catharines, Ont.-based marine transportation services firm says Ken Soerensen resigned to spend more time with his family in Europe.

Chief operating officer Gregg Ruhl has been appointed as a replacement effective immediately.

Algoma Central says Soerensen joined the firm in April 2015 and was charged with changing the company's focus to include growth markets beyond North America.

Ruhl has more than 30 years experience in the transportation industry, including 20 years in marine transportation. Prior to joining Algoma in late 2015, he was managing director of CN's marine divisions.

Algoma owns and operates the largest fleet of dry and liquid bulk carriers operating on the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Waterway, and it owns ocean self-unloading dry-bulk vessels operating in international markets.

Video: A chain harrow is a game changer

Utilizing a rotational grazing method on our farmstead with our sheep helps to let the pasture/paddocks rest. We also just invested in a chain harrow to allow us to drag the paddocks our sheep just left to break up and spread their manure around, dethatch thicker grass areas, and to rough up bare dirt areas to all for a better seed to soil contact if we overseed that paddock. This was our first time really using the chain harrow besides initially testing it out. We are very impressed with the work it did and how and area that was majority dirt, could be roughed up before reseeding.

Did you know we also operate a small business on the homestead. We make homemade, handcrafted soaps, shampoo bars, hair and beard products in addition to offering our pasture raised pork, lamb, and 100% raw honey.
