Two experts on all things maritime in Greece share their market insights and set the scene for Posidonia 2024 on June 3-7.

As Posidonia 2024 draws near, Seatrade Maritime senior correspondent Gary Howard speaks to Elias Kariambas, vice president, business development, Greece at ABS and Theodore Vokos, managing director at Posidonia Events to set the scene for Greece’s biggest international maritime exhibition.

Elias brings his insights into the challenges facing shipowners in Greece across all sectors, and his understanding of their priorities from conversations at ABS’s events and seminars in the country, and meetings with shipowning clients.

Theo brings his own viewpoint on what’s happening in Greece, and how regional and global shipping challenges are reflected in the Posidonia 2024 exhibition and event programme.

Education is a strong theme from both guests as shipping looks to inspire young generations and secure a supply of talent across the wide range of roles the maritime industry relies on both on land and at sea.

Decarbonisation, digitalisation and regulation are woven throughout the conversation, reflecting the importance and interdependence of those topics, the leading role class plays in supporting shipowners in achieving compliance, and Posidonia’s position as a both a place for industry conversations and a marketplace for the technologies and products shipping relies on.

One of the world’s largest offshore vessel owners Tidewater drove consolidation in the sector towards the end of a lengthy downturn.

“At that time, people weren't as convinced that the industry was ever going to recover, and that's very natural when you go through a long down cycle. And, so, there were a lot of questions as to whether or not the industry would continue on and resurge as it has. I always believed that it would, I wasn't sure exactly when, but I'm pleased that it's come to fruition in that way,” Quintin V. Kneen, President & CEO of Tidewater, tells the Seatrade Maritime Podcast.

In this latest episode we are in conversation with Quintin V. Kneen who joined Tidewater through its merger with GulfMark Offshore in 2018, the first part of that consolidation piece. Following this he led the company through the acquisition of Swire Pacific Offshore and the Platform Supply Vessel (PSV) fleet of Solstad.

Talking with Marcus Hand, Editor of Seatrade Maritime News, Quintin takes the listener through the ups and downs of the acquisition process and the business strategy underpinning them.

Quintin discusses future opportunities in an improved market and whether it is yet the right time to take the plunge on newbuildings.

This leads the conversation into decarbonisation and its impact both on Tidewater’s own fleet and new business opportunities such as offshore wind and carbon capture and storage.

Where does Quintin see the offshore vessels sector in the next five to ten years? – Find out by listening to the episode now.

The maritime communications space is experiencing massive demand growth for both crew welfare and business applications.

In this latest episode of the Seatrade Maritime Podcast we talk to Ben Palmer, President of maritime business for Inmarsat, about the fast-changing landscape for communications in the industry.

“One of the things I'd say at the outset is that I was struck when I came into the industry was a slightly binary sense that people wanted to talk about LEO or GEO, as if they were somehow mutually exclusive or there wasn't going to be room for both,” Ben says in a conversation Marcus Hand, Editor of Seatrade Maritime News.

“I think the, the reality, and this is sort of playing out over time is demand for capacity is growing massively across the maritime segment as it is actually across the wider economy. We are seeing demand for crew and business applications risen by 70% and 50%, respectively over the last couple of years.”

The discussion between Ben and Marcus covers:

• Inmarsat’s merger with Viasat and what this means to the company and its customers.
• The rise of LEO constellations and combining with Inmarsat’s GEO offerings as an orchestrated network
• Developing a 5G over water service
• Managed services and software provision
• The outlook for maritime communications
