On a maritime mission in Ukraine

Meet Erik Froste, CEO of Swedish Roadferries, assigned by the European Union Advisory Mission for Civilian Security Sector Reform Ukraine (EUAM Ukraine), to go to Odesa and find out when Ukraine can fulfil the crucial maritime requirements of becoming a member of the European Union. 
Erik was on this mission for six months earlier this year, and you must listen to his story about everyday life in Ukraine. He also speaks about the brave people he met and how he could see ports, bridges, and the Vessel Control Traffic tower being rebuilt after being demolished. 
Please listen to what Erik and I discussed and consider what you can contribute. Then, please write to us at hello@shippingpodcast.com with your thoughts.

TAKE 2 - NEW AND IMPROVED SOUND QUALITY 

 


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.
