The maritime industry from the view of a young Chinese woman
I received an email from a loyal listener in Shanghai who is entering her career in the maritime industry and wanted to tell me how much the Shipping Podcast has meant to her.
Of course, I wanted to speak to her and hear what she had to say about our industry not being so visible and unable to reach the #nextgeneration with our message to come and work.
In episode 206, you meet Anna Wu, Project Logistics Specialist in China. We speak about the Shipping Podcast, of course, but also how Anna feels that she can contribute to raising the profile of the maritime industry. And then I speak a lot about life as a podcaster.
What do you think? Drop me a line at hello@shippingpodcast.com and let me know.
Thanks for listening.




This episode featuring Anna Wu is such an inspiring look into the maritime industry from a fresh perspective. I really appreciate how the podcast highlights young professionals entering the field and shares their experiences—it’s a great way to show the human side of logistics. Anna’s enthusiasm for raising the profile of maritime careers in China is especially encouraging for the next generation considering this industry. Podcasts like this are invaluable for increasing visibility and sparking interest in careers that often go unnoticed. Thanks for sharing these insights and giving listeners a personal connection to the industry.
