    Power from the Gulf Stream? Marine Energy with Dr. James VanZwieten | The Blue Economy

    Could one of the world’s most powerful ocean currents become a source of renewable energy? Katherine O’Fallon of the Marine Research Hub of South Florida is joined by Dr. James VanZwieten, Director of Florida Atlantic University’s Southeast Marine Energy Center (SMEC), to explore the science, engineering and real-world testing behind efforts to harness energy from the Gulf Stream. The conversation looks at decades of research into ocean currents off the Florida coast, the challenges of designing and testing marine energy technology in deep, fast-moving water, and the enormous amount of data required before turbines can move from experimental systems toward commercial applications. James also explains what it takes to conduct offshore testing, why environmental monitoring is fundamental to the research, how scientists measure and understand the Gulf Stream itself, and the role of the U.S. Department of Energy in advancing marine energy technology. It is a practical look at an extraordinary renewable resource and the engineering required to determine what role ocean current energy could realistically play in the future.

    Buried At Sea: The Law They Ignored | Ryan Melogy | Part Two | UNCENSORED

    What happens when a law exists to protect seafarers, but the system built to enforce it does not act? In Part Two of Buried At Sea: The Law They Ignored, UNCENSORED host Marién Sarriera continues the three-part series with maritime lawyer, advocate, and former seafarer Ryan Melogy. After Part One examined Ryan’s own experience of abuse at sea and what happened when he reported it, Part Two follows the moment that changed the direction of his fight. While studying for his chief mate exam, Ryan discovered a federal law requiring allegations of sexual assault aboard US-flagged vessels to be reported to the US Coast Guard. That discovery raised a question that would lead him into something much larger: If the law existed, why was it not being enforced? Ryan explains how institutional pushback, Coast Guard inaction, FOIA requests, Maritime Legal Aid, public pressure, and survivor stories began to expose a wider pattern across the maritime industry. What started as one report became part of a much bigger fight for accountability, enforcement, and protection for people working at sea. This conversation looks at the gap between policy and action, the burden placed on survivors, the emotional cost of advocacy, and what happens when ignored reports are finally brought into the open. This is Part Two of a three-part UNCENSORED special series.

    Superyacht Safety, CHIRP & Crew Reporting with Paul Shepherd | On The Bridge

    How can the superyacht industry improve safety before something goes wrong? In this episode of On The Bridge, Alicia Store, Chief Operating Officer at dsnm Ltd, speaks with Paul Shepherd, Chair of CHIRP’s superyacht programme, about confidential safety reporting, crew trust, shared learning, and the culture needed to help yacht crew speak up. Paul explains what CHIRP is, why a superyacht-specific programme was created, and how crew can share safety concerns, near misses, incidents, and lessons learned without fear of being identified. This is not a conversation about whistleblowing. It is a conversation about learning. Paul makes clear that CHIRP is designed to take the same safety conversations that often happen in crew bars, WhatsApp groups, or private chats, and bring them into a confidential structure where the wider industry can learn from them. The aim is not to blame yachts, captains, crew, or management companies. The aim is to prevent the same mistakes from being repeated elsewhere. Alicia and Paul also discuss some of the most common superyacht safety themes reported through CHIRP, including tender operations, anchoring and mooring, and working aloft. They explore why unsafe practices can become normal onboard simply because nothing has gone wrong yet, a process known as the normalisation of deviation. From kill cords and life jackets in tenders to slippery surfaces, exposed work areas, stop work authority, and the importance of fresh eyes onboard, this conversation looks at the everyday decisions that shape safety culture. Paul also highlights the positive side of the industry: the captains, chief officers, engineers, interior teams, deck crew, and shoreside professionals already trying to build better safety standards across yachting. At the heart of the discussion is a simple idea: You do not have enough time to make all the mistakes yourself. Sometimes the safest thing a yacht can do is learn from what has already happened somewhere else. Topics include: • What CHIRP is and why the superyacht programme was created• Confidential safety reporting in yachting• Why CHIRP is not a whistleblowing programme• How crew anonymity is protected• Tender operations, anchoring, mooring, and working aloft• Normalisation of deviation in yacht operations• Kill cords, life jackets, and practical tender safety• Stop work authority and crew confidence• Why safety culture depends on trust• How captains and senior crew can use CHIRP reports onboard• Why shared learning can prevent serious incidents Learn more about CHIRP Maritime:https://chirp.co.uk/maritime/Learn more about dsnm Ltd:www.dsnmltd.comPrefer to read?Head to Yachting News on the website:https://www.yachtinginternationalradio.com/yachting-newsHost: Alicia Store, Chief Operating Officer at dsnm LtdGuest: Paul Shepherd, Chair of CHIRP’s superyacht programme On The Bridge | dsnm Ltd | Yachting International Radio Search Yachting Channel on your favourite podcast platform for more conversations from across the global yachting industry.

    Sailing Through The Excess, Luxury Yachting & Life At Sea | Captain’s Chat

    Luxury yachting is often seen from the outside as glamour, freedom, celebrities, billionaires, royals, and floating palaces. But behind that image is a very different world of service, sacrifice, pressure, extraordinary human moments, and stories most people never hear. In this episode of Captain’s Chat, Captain Liam Devlin speaks with Timmo Elliott and Gemma Masferrer, authors of Sailing Through the Excess, a book that pulls back the curtain on life inside the luxury yachting world. Timmo shares how years in hospitality, travel, and yachting led to a memoir filled with remarkable encounters, unforgettable guests, and the realities behind elite service. Gemma explains how she helped bring those stories together, shaping Timmo’s experiences into a book with wider context around climate change, gender equality at sea, the MeToo movement, language, identity, and the sacrifices behind maritime life. This is a conversation about luxury yachting, but also about storytelling, human connection, nature, resilience, and the courage to step outside your comfort zone.

    Refit Oversight: Why Yacht Projects Need Accountability | American Refit

    Refit oversight is where yacht projects either hold together or start to unravel. In this episode of American Refit, host Maria Pierce Schoenheit is joined by Robert Mac Keen of MacKeen Group / MIATC and Lord Luke Hammond of Seek Standards for a direct conversation on planning, accountability, reporting, contractor selection, owner expectations, and why yacht refit projects need clearer structure before a vessel ever enters the yard. The discussion looks at what happens when scope is unclear, vendors are not aligned, pricing is not properly compared, and every stakeholder is working from a different version of the project. From 10-year surveys and contractor quality to shipyard capacity, project baselines, refit management, owner communication, and stronger standards across the American refit market, this conversation gets into the practical realities that can make or break a yard period. A quick note on the audio: there were technical issues with the original recording. The audio has been cleaned up as much as possible because the conversation itself was too valuable not to share.

    Superyacht Owner Exposure and Independent Representation | Forward Watch

    Superyacht ownership should be exceptional, but it should never be chaotic. In this episode of Forward Watch, host Karine Rayson speaks with Jack MacNally of Foreland Marine about where yacht owners are most exposed during a purchase, build, refit, or ongoing operation, and why independent representation matters long before something goes wrong. Jack is the co-founder of Foreland Marine Consultancy, an independent owner’s representative firm working only for the owner. He is also the author of The First Owner’s Reference, a guide created to help yacht owners ask the questions that are often missing from the glossy version of yacht ownership. The conversation looks at one of the industry’s most uncomfortable realities: incentives. A broker may recommend a surveyor. A surveyor may know the captain. A captain may recommend a yard. Everyone may look professional, polished, and experienced, but unless the owner understands who is being paid, who is connected, and where interests may overlap, the advice they receive may not be as independent as they believe. Jack explains why transparency, disclosure, due diligence, and independent advice are essential when millions of dollars and multiple stakeholders are involved. He also discusses why owners should build their own team before entering the purchase process, including independent technical guidance, legal advice, survey support, and people who are genuinely sitting on their side of the table. The discussion also moves beyond acquisition into the ongoing role of an owner’s representative. Jack explains why strong representation should not disappear once the deal is complete, and why operational oversight, crew-level awareness, management relationships, diplomacy, integrity, and long-term planning all matter to the success of the yacht. At the heart of the episode is a simple question every owner should be asking: Who is actually in your corner? Prefer to read?
