Meet Hannah van Hemmen, a young scientist and engineer who works as a marine surveyor at MARTIN OTTAWAY. She talks about what’s it like to be young in an old fashion industry with cutting edge technology and which she thinks gets too little attention.

Hannah has got some really good ideas how the shipping industry can become more visible, why not take her up on the idea of a female surveyor as the new MacGyver? She also speaks about a book called The sole of a new machine.

Hannah also speaks very fondly about WISTA, Women’s International Shipping and Trading Association, where she is a member of the New York Chapter, WISTA USA.

I have appeared on International Podcast Day (30 sept) and on Gott Prat (if you understand Swedish) please feel free to comment on those events.
