When he joined the Glosten more than 26 years ago as an intern, little did Morgan Fanberg know that one day he’d be at the helm leading the largest privately owned naval architecture firm in the United States. But this USMMA-grad was well outfitted for the task, and in this Maritime Matters: The Marinelink Podcast, Fanberg candidly discusses the challenges he, his team and the maritime industry faces in meeting legislatively mandated goals; plus adopting new fuels into new designs while keeping to his mantra to “keep old boats running.”

Green

Marine is an environmental certification program for North America’s maritime

industry, a voluntary initiative that helps its participants to improve their

environmental performance beyond regulations. But participation in the Green

Marine program requires rigor in planning, executing, measuring and reporting

an organization’s performance across 14 indicators, an investment in time and

resources that pays dividends in transparency and credibility to the market and

the population in general. In this episode of Maritime Matters: The MarineLink

Podcast, we take a deep dive with a trio of guests: Eleanor Kirtley, Green

Marine’s Senior Program Manager plus a pair of members that can speak to the

process and value; Stephanie Jones Stebbins, Director – Maritime, Port of

Seattle and Mark Barker, President & CEO, Interlake Steamship Company.

the transformation is far more than skin deep. Philippe Trouillard, Commercial

transformation of the yard and its facilities, but also too the challenges of

successfully competing with much cheaper repair yards in the Far East; and

insights on an exciting new electrostatically applied paint in the drydock

which has shown the potential minimize overspray and save 40% in paint applied.

As the offshore wind industry grows, so too does the number of purpose-built SOVs and CSOVs needed to support this clean energy sector. Maritime Matters sits down with Siemens Energy’s Trygve Akselsen and Intelatus Global Partners’ Philip Lewis to discuss how evolving technologies are helping to drive performance and efficiency gains across the global fleet.

As emission reduction mandates sweep through maritime and hybrid solutions become the norm rather than the exception, special consideration must be paid to the drive train. Bob Lennon, with more than 40 years of maritime drivetrain experience, shares insight from Regal Rexnord on special areas to consider to ensure a long, efficient life of the propulsion machinery, cradle to grave.

Sea

Machines is a pioneer in maritime autonomy, operating continuously since it was

founded by Michael Johnson in 2015. In this episode of Maritime Matters, we

visit with Johnson to discuss his take on the pace and course of true maritime

autonomy, plus the rationale behind the development and technical insights on

SELKIE, a new unmanned surface vessel developed by Sea Machine’s.
