Green Seas: A podcast by TradeWinds TradeWinds

As the shipping industry changes as new fuels, new technologies and digitalisation make their mark, so it will need people from all walks of life to be part of it too.
This calls for diversity and a sense of belonging.
Craig Eason spoke to Heidi Heseltine, founder of the shipping focused Diversity Study Group, about a new initiative with shipping companies, to find out how we as an industry can make sure seafarers, whatever their background, can feel they belong and can play a role in our industry’s transition.

Green Seas boards the Carnival Celebration to talk to key company executives about climate action and circular economy. We hear from Carnival Corp’s William Burke and Tom Strang, Carnival Cruise Lines’ Richard Pruitt and more.

TradeWinds technology editor Craig Eason talks to Hing Chao, executive chairman of Wah Kwong the dry bulk owner about the company's strategy and which technologies he thinks will work for his fleet. Also why he is such a keen supporter of ZESTAs the zero emissions ship technology association.

Danielle Southcott’s Veer Group is working to make zero-emission container shipping a reality. Her company has just signed a letter of intent to build vessels powered by wind, with hydrogen fuel cells in port. She spoke to Eric Priante Martin live at the TradeWinds Shipowners Forum USA.

The European Union’s Emissions Trading System can be daunting for shipowners, so the shipping’s third-party technical managers are aiming to help them navigate it by adding emissions management to their services catalogue.

We talk to Carl Schou of Wilhelmsen Ship Management, Mathavan Subbiah of Synergy Marine and Frederic Bouthillier of Vertis Environmental Finance.

The carbon credits that shipping companies have to buy for European voyages have regained some ground after crashing to unexpectedly low levels. Where are they headed next? We speak to Mattia Ferracchiato of BRS Shipbrokers and Frederic Bouthillier of Vertis Environmental Finance.
