Jeffersonville-based American Commercial Barge Line has named Mike Ellis the company’s next chief executive officer, succeeding the retiring Mark Knoy.

Ellis most recently served as executive vice president and marine group leader for Savage Services Corp., a transportation, logistics and material handling company based in Utah. He takes over August 17.

In April, Savage sold its inland barge division in which Ellis oversaw.

“Mike comes to ACBL with a long history in the industry and brings a wealth of knowledge and leadership that will guide us forward,” said John Giles, chair of ACBL’s board of directors.

The company website says ACBL operates a fleet of 3,550 barges and 190 towboats, moving a variety of dry and liquid products on the Mississippi River and its tributaries.
