Kaj "Tico" Takolander is in charge of the passenger operations of a major European port that services almost 10 million passengers annually. He joins us to share stories and insights from a long career in the maritime industry and to set us straight on its current state. We discuss adapting to new challenges, including the pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and Tico also reveals how sewage and waste are managed on big ships. Danny's nerdiness is also in full bloom, especially when it comes to obscure ships from the past and where they have ended up.
