On a maritime mission in Ukraine

Meet Erik Froste, CEO of Swedish Roadferries, assigned by the European Union Advisory Mission for Civilian Security Sector Reform Ukraine (EUAM Ukraine), to go to Odesa and find out when Ukraine can fulfil the crucial maritime requirements of becoming a member of the European Union. 
Erik was on this mission for six months earlier this year, and you must listen to his story about everyday life in Ukraine. He also speaks about the brave people he met and how he could see ports, bridges, and the Vessel Control Traffic tower being rebuilt after being demolished.

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 hello@shippingpodcast.com 

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 hello@shippingpodcast.com 

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 hello@shippingpodcast.com 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.
