To our Beloved Jim Black

 With profound sadness, Moran announces the passing of our President and CEO James “Jim” Black following a brief illness. He was surrounded by his family and loved ones at his home in The Woodlands, TX at the time of his passing. 

Jim was more than our fearless leader who guided Moran through dramatic industry changes, though he was exactly that. He was also our friend. 

All those who knew him knew of Jim’s kindness, his compassion, and his commitment to the maritime industry. 

The positive impact that Jim made throughout his career is felt not only by those who worked with him but also by the entire maritime community.  We feel a deep sense of loss and will miss Jim very much. 

Our hearts are with his sons, Adam and Andrew, his friends and family, our employees, and all others who had the pleasure of knowing him. 

Service arrangements are pending and will be announced at a later date.
