VOICES FROM THE MARITIME INDUSTRY SINCE 2015

158 Captain Thomas Lindegaard Madsen, VENTA MAERSK, Maersk Line

by 18 Comments

Welcome to the 158th episode of the Shipping Podcast, where you meet Captain Thomas Lindegaard Madsen of VENTA MAERSK, Maersk Line, one of the more visible role models in the maritime industry.

Thomas has been sailing for almost thirty years and has experience with many different vessels. Currently, his vessel is trading in the Baltic Sea area and this year he is enjoying ice navigation.

Captain Thomas recognises that the biggest change he has seen during his career is the arrival of the internet into our industry.

We get so many insights from Captain Thomas in this episode. He is talking about opportunities with the new technology development, and it is apparent that he loves his job.

Thomas is sharing his concerns about being public on social media. It gives a perspective on how we can showcase the maritime industry to the world by using social media.

I hope you enjoyed this episode as much as I did. Both Thomas and I love feedback; please give us a shout out if you think this was worth the time listening to. I am @lenagothberg in most channels.

Thank you for listening.
