Aronnax. The maritime and ocean podcast

Under Pressure

Season 2, Ep. 3
•

In this episode we start with a look at ITF concerns about the use of ships' crews, who may be stranded onboard due to Covid restrictions, performing safety related surveys. We hear from Odd Rune Malterud, co-author of the ITF report "Beyond the Limit" about what needs to change, and to DNV GL's maritime CEO Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen about the value of being able to do remote surveys and so keep ships in service.


Then.


Angela is a coastal Chief Engineer in the US having gone to maritime academy in 2004. She shares some of her experiences throughout her career and why she thinks it is important that we all share responsibility for the future of our industry (Including where dads and mums can encourage daughters to get involved in maritime and shipping careers).

I also talk to GIna Panayiotou, a maritime lawyer about the recourse that those who are bullied or victims of abuse can have, and where she thinks more responsibilities lie. Gina is also the founder of the It's All About Shipping Facebook stream, and passionate about sharing the benefits of maritime careers among younger people who our industry's ambassadors of the future.
