Catja Hjorth Rasmussen explains why it took 5 years to complete the remote control container management project, which is now in full operation at Maersk Line. The system has GPS tracking and has eliminated more that 100,000 manual pre-trip inspections.

Catja joined the shipping industry fresh out of school as a shipping trainee, and has been in love with the industry ever since. The international environment, the fast pace and the ever changing environment was what attracted her to the industry and still excites her.

You want to hear all the benefits of a remote controlled container management, and you want to listen to yet another young woman who is bringing new knowledge in to our community.

It excites me that I have managed to find so many interesting young women with deep knowledge, especially when I get the answer that “all the women declined when invited to speak” from well renown shipping media.

Thank you for listening, talking about and hopefully sharing this episode with your maritime network. That is the only way we will get more visible in this industry, by sharing and supporting each other. For those of you who wants to contribute to my 2 year anniversary episode, please download Voxer, either on your computer or as an app on your mobile and start talking to me!
