Shipping Podcast - this is where we talk about the coolest industry on the planet and help raise the maritime industry's profile.

Fasten your seatbelts and press play on the 70th episode of the Shipping Podcast. It's all about innovation and the new era we are entering into now. And a little bit about connectivity and broadband at sea & why it's important to make the crew happy onboard a ship.

Listen to Geir Isene from the Dualog Innovation Garage talking about how innovation is essential for the maritime industry to become more visible and take command over our own destiny.

I cannot wait to hear from you, what is your view on our chat? Please let us know, we are both on Twitter, Geir & I @isene and @lenagothberg

Over & Out

You wanted a maritime start-up, a forerunner taking advantage of the digitalisation of the maritime industry and I present Constantine Komodromos, Co-Founder & CEO, Vesselbot.

Listen to Constantine, who is NOT a mariner, and how he wants to develop and streamline the relationship between the charterer and the shipowner and what he thinks about the future of the shipping industry.

This is an episode you don't want to miss, especially since we made it so many times before it finally is presentable to you. Listen and give a shout out to Constantine or me, we both love feedback!

Go to the Patreon page and give some love & support! That would be very much appreciated!

I met with Håkan Fagerström, Group Head of Cargo, Tallink Silja Oy, when visiting Helsinki May 16th, 2017. Håkan is a Master Mariner with a sense of IT, programming skills and is not afraid of trying new things. In a way it feels like because he is open to change, he is contributing to developing the industry and since he loves his work so much, I doubt if he ever will be south of Dakkar..

Listen & tell everyone else that they should listen. Share in social media and comment on the episode either on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube or on the webpage www.shippingpodcast.com

Andrew Faiola is the interviewee in the 67th episode of the Shipping Podcast. Andrew is the Director, Mobility Solutions, Europe, Middle East, Africa & Asia-Pacific at Intelsat and explains what the enhanced connectivity at sea will mean to the maritime industry and what lays ahead of us.

Digitalisation is a new way of working and the connectivity becomes part of the bloodstream of the operations, that is Andrew's view. What do you think? Please share your thoughts in any social channel or via the website www.shippingpodcast.com

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Melvin Mathews is the Maritime Director at Eniram, he has a background as Master Mariner, he has worked as a ship manager and now he is in the tech world.

There are so many wise things that Mathew is sharing with us, he speaks about leadership, the need for new, visionary leadership within the shipping industry. He has noticed the new perspective that the Millenials and the Gen Z:s are bringing to our industry and he speculates a little bit what that will look like for the future.

And he is a fan of me (wow!) and appreciates social media and thinks that we need to learn and understand how to use it to our benefit.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Listen and share with the world!

Hurray for Shipping Podcast Fridays!

Roger Adamson is the CEO of Futurenautics Maritime and has a background as a Naval Architect. I first met Roger when I invited him to come and speak at the Institute of Shipping Analysis a few years back. He then took the stage and talked about wearables and other gadgets that can be used also onboard a vessel, for various purposes.

At that time, I hadn't heard anyone talk about those things to the maritime community, and it's still the same, Futurenautics is in the forefront and they know their business.

In their latest research, they have asked the shipping industry about the current state of digital infrastructure investment, initiatives and transformation in the shipping and maritime industry. You can download the report here and you can hear me and Roger discuss the outcome of the survey - and of course his answers to my usual 5 questions ;)

I love shout-outs! Give me your feedback, I am in all social channels @ShippingPodcast Or head over to the website and comment there.

Thank you for listening!

How to celebrate 2 year of podcasting, 64 guests, 85,000+ downloads in 155 countries? I decided to do that by turning the table and open up for my listeners to interview me!

Ping shipping, this is something you need to listen to! I list my favourite episodes, my listeners favourites and what I have learned since I started. I have views, and good advice if you listen carefully, on marketing and advertising, I challenge the maritime industry to support a disruptive start-up, lead by a female in this male dominated industry.

It will be interesting to see how many of my listeners that are willing to celebrate with me by giving shout outs to this ambitious host and producer of the only channel where you can hear the VOICES FROM THE MARITIME INDUSTRY.

From me to you, over & out <3

In episode 64, you meet Dr. Cleopatra Doumbia-Henry (LL.B, LL.M (2), Ph.D International Law) who is the President of the World Maritime University based in Malmo, Sweden. She talks about her lengthy career within the United Nations system and especially the time she dedicated to the new Maritime Labour Convention, MLC, where 68 instruments now finally are merged into one single Convention.

Cleopatra is passionate about gender equity, something she talks a lot about and how it is important that everything now put into MLC must be implemented into the law of the countries that has ratified it and translate these rights and obligations into impact on the ground.

It was quite significant, when preparing for the new MLC, that the seafarers should enjoy the same fundamental rights at work as all other workers, human rights are universal and it is important that we value the work of those 1,2 mio seafarers who enables shipping to continue transporting 90 percent of our goods around the world.

Hopefully, you will come to the same realisation as I, this is a Power Woman and she is on a mission for the future!

Listen, comment, spread the word, EVERYONE needs to listen to the Shipping Podcast and the amazing guests that so generously give of their time!

Meet Per-Olof Arnäs, PhD and Senior Lecturer in ICT-based (Information and Communications Technology) transportation systems at Chalmers University, who loves the 21nd century and thinks that everything is better now compared with before.

P-O is a digital evangelist and has been so for as long as I have known him. We talk about the difference between Digitization and Digitalisation, where digitization is when you create digital information, you have information already but convert it into a digital format, but digitalisation, that's when you increase the use of digital technology to solve everyday problems for instance, or to create new opportunities.

Of course, we go into a discussion on block chain, my latest craze and we talk about the times we live in how and how the maritime industry is adapting to them, or not.

You don't want to miss this deep-dive into all the digital trends we are living now, and you don't want to miss listening to P-O.

Give your opinion about what P-O is talking about, in any social media, Shipping Podcast is everywhere, or go to the website www.shippingpodcast.com and comment.

Thank you for listening, it's my pleasure to make sure you don't miss the paradigm we are in right now.

Meet Deanna MacDonald, CEO and Co-founder of BLOC, blockchain research and application development company, which has a mission to help create the demand for a decentralised global economy.

Deanna explains in a very simple fashion to me all there is to know about block chain, the importance of trust in the system and some of the implications for the maritime industry. This is a crash course in block chain, promise you the level of knowledge that you need to be able to follow the debate on this topic.

Thank you for listening, I love feedback from you, please give me a shout out in social media or go to the web site www.shippingpodcast.com and make me happy!
