Captain Felino D’Souza

True to a tradition dating back over 180 years, the Montreal Port Authority (MPA) has awarded the Gold-Headed Cane again this year. The 2022 edition is awarded to Captain Felino D’Souza of the Hapag-Lloyd Quebec Express, the first ocean-going vessel to cross the Port of Montreal’s downstream limit at Sorel without a stopover at 00:21 a.m. Captain D’Souza, himself the son of a sailor, has 27 years of experience at sea, including 16 as Captain. Since his first day at sea, he has been sailing for Anglo-Eastern Ship Management, which manages a fleet of Hapag-Lloyd vessels. D’Souza said he plans to give the cane to his wife, as he won it on her birthday.
