by 3 Comments

Unbelievable! I am celebrating the 200th episode of the Shipping Podcast!!
If anyone had told me when I started in 2015 that I would go on, releasing one new episode every other Friday, I would not have believed it. And yet, here we are!
I have met so many people, generous with their time and knowledge! And when I think back, I have learned so much!
Thanks to my listeners, I still feel like there are things to know and people to listen to, so you can be sure that more episodes from me will be released.

Procurement or purchase?

Maria Theodosiou, Managing Director GenPro, is the interviewee in episode 199. She explains what a maritime procurement company brings to the maritime industry.

We speak about so many exciting topics, and Maria underlines the different moral compasses of the next generation. To lead them into the business, we must consider being open-minded, inclusive, brave, and approachable and creating a safe environment where it’s possible to speak and ask about anything.

Maria leads by example and is passionate about bringing visibility and a spotlight to women in the maritime industry. Does that sound familiar?

Enjoy episode 199, and please let me know your views on what we are discussing. Thanks for listening.

161, Marina Hadjipateras, Founder & General Partner, TMV

by Leave a Comment

Welcome to the 161st episode of the Shipping Podcast, in which you will be listening to Marina Hadjipateras, Founder & General Partner, TMV, an early-stage venture capital fund.
Marina is second-generation Shipowners who now is investing in sustainability, shipping, logistics, work and care. She is looking for start-ups interested in the maritime industry but may not understand the business. Examples of companies that Marina has engaged in are Nautilus Labs and Transmute. 

We discuss what impact the pandemic has had on the maritime industry. Marina thinks that since more people have access to see and understand how the maritime industry works, that has lead to a greater interest in our line of business.

The mindset of “don’t fix what isn’t broken” is gone. Now it’s more open ears and hearts interested in listening to new ideas prevalent in the maritime industry. 

Thank you for listening. I am @lenagothberg on most online channels. Please give me a shout-out and let me know what you think about Marina’s view of things.

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.
