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.

Our cultural values align with the Volvo Group and include customer focus, passion, teamwork, and professionalism.

There are so many good things to pick up on in this episode. Sustainability, leadership, courage, new tech, next generation. And all is connected. Everyone must take a leap of faith and dare to learn new things. That is how we will reach the maritime industry 2.0 – just like every line of business that wants to stay in business needs to do.

Listen to Heléne Mellquist, President of Volvo Penta, the former CEO of Rederi AB Transatlantic, a prominent Swedish shipowner at the time, but back in the Volvo Group for a while now. She talks about her passion for business, sees collaboration as the way forward, and is passionate about inclusiveness.

It’s all music to my ears and gives me hope for the future. What about you? What do you think? Please drop me a line at hello@shippingpodcast.com and let me know.
Thank you for listening.
