| 摘要： | As a fifth-generation mariner, Hines Furlong Line President and CEO Kent Furlong always wanted to work in the river industry. "My bedroom was decorated with barge industry flags," he said. "I was a little bit of a nut about it." Furlong, 38, was out riding boats with his grandfather, whom he called his personal hero, at 5 years old. He became a deckhand at 18 and founded his company at 20. It has grown to 340 employees and more than 50 tank barges with a capacity exceeding 1 million barrels. On May 20, Furlong was honored by the Port of Paducah Propeller Club as the club's Maritime Person of the Year during a presentation ceremony and dinner. Furlong said the honor meant a lot to him, although it was a novel experience. "I'm used to being the guy in the audience watching it," he said of similar award ceremonies. |
