Shipping Podcast - this is where we talk about the coolest industry on the planet and help raise the maritime industry's prof Lena Göthberg

Spearheading wind-assisted propulsion
WindWings project is a commitment to leading the way towards a zero-carbon future while enhancing vessel efficiency. BAR Technologies believe there is more to be done to harness wind power and push shipping into a greener and more efficient era for the shipping industry.
We cannot wait for future newbuildings to help us meet new regulations and CO2 reductions. There is a need also for refitting of the existing fleet. The WindWings installation is part of Berge Bulk’s ambition to become carbon neutral by 2025 and lead the world to a zero-carbon future through safe, efficient, and sustainable shipping. 
In addition to become carbon neutral, WindWings is a way to show the general public that the maritime industry is changing and is contributing to the solution by taking on the challenges. 
What is your view? Do you believe in sails on the current merchant fleet?

Hull performance 
Shipowners and ship managers are seeking solutions to manage hull performance more effectively. Why is that? It's because they want to make their fleet more sustainable, and they also want to save money. Les effective hull performance > more fuel and more emissions.

What does the "Fit for 55 in 2030 package" mean for the maritime industry?
In episode 225, I had the pleasure of speaking with Vera Tax who is a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) and a member of the Committee on Transport and Tourism. There are so many new proposals now in the pipeline for the maritime industry, and since Vera has been involved in them all, I took the opportunity to ask about them all. 
EU Emissions Trading System Fuel infrastructure Renewal Energy Directive European Port Strategy In addition, Vera is a Champion of Equality in the Transport industry, mainly focusing on women in maritime, so we also discussed that.

Remote health care
How can digital health solutions contribute to good health and wellness at sea? In this episode, I discuss that with the Managing Director of OneHealth by VIKAND, Ronald Spithout. 
Ronald held several positions in the maritime industry. Before retiring last year, he was the President of Inmarsat's maritime satellite systems, so connectivity is close to his heart. Combining Ronald's passion for connectivity and the well-being of seafarers has led him to take on a new role as MD of OneHealth. 
This episode covers many aspects of connectivity and digital health systems. 
Thank you for listening.
