In episode 148 you will be listening to my conversation with Cary Davis, Senior Government Relations Director & General Counsel, American Association of Port Authorities and how he works with the U.S. Congress to make sure that everyone understands the importance of seaports and infrastructure when it comes to the global supply chains.

There is an election coming up, new congressmen will arrive, the Covid-19 has an impact on how to work with the mission to highlight the importance of the seaports.

Of course, we discuss how to raise the profile of shipping and story-telling, that is close to both our hearts.

What do you want to ask Cary? You reach him at @cary__davis on Twitter. And don't forget to follow @PortsUnited as well, it's where the AAPA is updating about its work.

Episode 147 is a solo episode with me. I had something that I needed to get off my chest. I was interviewed by a start-up the other day and that sparked some thoughts in my head that I felt I wanted to share with you.

How do we change the mindset to the new way of thinking, that is what I speak about in this episode.

If you have any thoughts about this that you want to share with me or a photo of yourself listening to the Shipping Podcast, please email me at [email protected]

Thank you for listening.

In episode 146 we meet Mark Bell, General Manager, The Society for Gas as Marine Fuel, and we speak about the fuels roadmap to 2030/2050 and what needs to be done now in order for us to achieve the goals set.

We cover a lot in this episode, bunker infrastructure, safety, alternative fuels, sulphur, carbon, regulations, engines - but also how to make the shipping industry more visible to the general public.

Mark is an engineer and he has been working for classification societies after he sailed onboard tankers, so he is very experienced and is very generous in sharing his knowledge.

What is your view? How do we achieve the sustainability goals for the maritime industry? Please drop me a line at [email protected]

Thank you for listening.

In episode 145 you will listen to Harald Solberg, CEO of the Norwegian Shipowner's Association. He speaks about how the shipping industry needs to be bold and set up challenging targets and thereby be part of the solution for a climate-neutral future.

Harald is with me on the demand for us to speak about the maritime industry outside our own ranks, we need to become more visible in mainstream media.

The International Chamber of Shipping has suggested a fund for technical developments toward a zero-emission shipping industry, along the same lines as the NOX fund, which Harald is very supportive of.

Collaboration is the way forward and there are a lot of opportunities in that, especially with other industries.

What do you think? I love hearing from you! Drop me a line at [email protected] or comment in social channels, I am @lenagothberg in all of them.

Thank you for listening!

In episode 144, I speak with Jillian Carson Jackson, the brand new President of the Nautical Institute. She speaks about her career and what she wants to focus on during her time in office, it's Diversity and inclusion, branch engagement and managing the impact of technology.

We agree that there is a reset of almost everything after the Covid-19 pandemic and that the maritime industry should take advantage of that. There are so many important issues that might have got a push now and it's up to us to decide what the future should look like.

Do you agree with Jillian? What is your view? Please give a shout-out or comment on social media or the website www.shippingpodcast.com

Thank you for listening!

In episode 143 we meet Henrik Hvid Jensen, Senior Digital Business Advisor, Henrik Hvid Advisory, the expert in digitised trade, who is one of the brains behind TradeLens, an interconnected ecosystem of supply chain partners — cargo owners, ocean and inland carriers, freight forwarders and logistics providers, ports and every entity involved in global trade with digital tools.

Henrik is passionate about getting the entire logistical chain digital since he can see so many benefits from that, he speaks about hidden costs in current systems which could be used in better ways.

Listen to Henrik and learn about the crossroad we are at, which way should we go? Will we be fast in adapting or will someone from the outside decide for us?

Too many questions, very little time.

Thank you for listening, please give some feedback on what we discussed. You can always reach me via [email protected]
