William Langenstein III has been appointed to serve on the Board of Commissioners of the Port of New Orleans.

Langenstein will replace Michael Kearney as one of four Orleans Parish representatives on the board. Kearney, whose term ended in December, served a five-year term. Kearney is president and owner of The Kearney Companies Inc., a New Orleans-based third-party logistics company.

According to a port spokesman, Langenstein’s swearing-in date has yet to be scheduled.

The board, which governs the Port of New Orleans, sets policies and regulates traffic and commerce of the port. It has seven commissioners who are unsalaried and serve five-year staggered terms. The governor appoints board members from a list of three nominees submitted by 19 local business, civic, labor, education and maritime groups, according to the port’s website.
