Maryland Port Administration statement on passing of Steamship Trade Association President Angelos

On behalf of the Maryland Port Administration (MPA), I want to express my deepest condolences to the family and close associates of Steamship Trade Association (STA) President Michael Angelos on his passing. Michael is a former executive director for the MPA and a longtime presence around the Port of Baltimore. As STA president, Michael led an organization that represented thousands of men and women who comprise our hardworking, skilled, and dedicated labor force. He was also instrumental in negotiating several local labor contracts. 

MPA Deputy Executive Director David Thomas adds, “I knew Michael since 1984 when he worked in management positions with ITO Stevedoring and we had the opportunity to work together closely on the Baltimore docks. His initials M.P.A. are appropriate and symbolic of his love for the men and women of the Port of Baltimore. His passing leaves a gaping hole in our Port of Baltimore community and he will be missed by many.”
