Smooth Sailing

How does the acceptance of digital health solutions in the maritime industry impact the employee well-being of seafarers? That is something two Master students decided to look into as they were writing their thesis. 
Charlotta Herkommer and Sandra Siljevik Laine study Business Administration at the University of Jönköping, Sweden, in the Digital Business Programme. Nevertheless, they decided to look into the maritime universe to see how digital health solutions could make a difference for seafarers. 

Listen to our conversation about their findings after interviewing people working in the maritime industry, both onshore and at sea. You will smile when you hear how engaged these two young women have become in the maritime industry now. They can see themselves entering our world. I love it!

Thank you for listening! #everyconversationmatters 


Hosted by Lena Göthberg, the Shipping Podcast is a direct line into the vast, complex, and surprisingly human world of moving goods across the oceans. While global trade relies on this industry's immense scale and logistical prowess, the real story is found in the people who make it function. Each conversation goes beyond cargo and containers to introduce the maritime professionals themselves-captains, engineers, port managers, innovators, and strategists-whose unique backgrounds and on-the-ground experiences shape our connected world. This podcast delves into the practical realities of business, the nuances of managing global operations, and the strategies behind marketing an industry that often operates out of public view. Listeners gain an insider's perspective on the challenges, triumphs, and daily decisions that keep supply chains moving. It’s a focused exploration of a sector that is both foundational and fascinating, aiming to highlight the compelling careers and personalities that define modern shipping. Through these detailed discussions, the Shipping Podcast naturally builds a deeper appreciation for the coolest industry on the planet, elevating its profile one personal story at a time.
