Harbor Logistics appoints Scott Auslund as Chief Executive Officer

Harbor Logistics, a Charleston-based port-centric logistics platform offering warehousing, transloading and drayage services, announced that Scott Auslund will become Chief Executive Officer, effective May 1, 2026.

Auslund, appointed by Harbor’s Board of Directors, brings more than 15 years of experience in transportation and logistics, with a track record of scaling operations and driving growth in partnership. He has deep experience in warehousing and drayage, core components of Harbor’s service offering and key priorities for the company moving forward.

Most recently, Auslund served as Chief Operations Officer at Loop, where he led global operations, oversaw the integration of two acquisitions, and helped grow the business while maintaining strong customer performance. He previously served as CEO of Data2Logistics and GR Holdings, and earlier in his career held roles at Mariner, Covenant Logistics, Transplace and UPS, focusing on operational growth and supply chain performance.

“We are excited to welcome Scott to Harbor at such a critical moment for the platform,” said Marc Kramer, Chairman of the Board, Harbor Logistics. “His operational depth and sector-specific experience make him exceptionally well-suited to lead Harbor into its next chapter. We have a strong foundation now, after a period of successful integration and expansion, and we believe the best is ahead for this business, our customers and our team.”

“I am energized by the opportunity in front of Harbor,” said Auslund. “The Company has built a differentiated platform in an attractive and growing market. I look forward to partnering with the team and NOVA to accelerate growth and deliver continued value for our customers and stakeholders.”

Auslund succeeds Kevin Shuba, who joined Harbor at a pivotal moment in the Company’s development, navigating a period of integration and expansion across its Southeast footprint. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience across transportation and logistics, Shuba brought experienced operational leadership that solidified Harbor’s capabilities and market position during a critical growth phase.

“Kevin stepped into Harbor at an important inflection point and delivered the grounded leadership the business needed,” said Allison Kingsley, Founder and Partner of NOVA Infrastructure, Harbor’s owner. “Under his stewardship, the Company made significant progress integrating its operations and expanding its presence across key Southeastern markets. We are grateful for his contributions to Harbor and wish him well in his future endeavors.”

Harbor is continuing to invest in its Charleston-area footprint and broader Southeast network, with a focus on supporting customer growth, expanding partnerships and growing its team. Recent investment milestones include the grand opening of its 621,000 square foot warehouse in Dorchester County and breaking ground on its soybean transload facility in Berkeley County. The company expects to announce additional leadership hires in the coming weeks.
