Is DEI still relevant? 

Is there a way to make the maritime industry more attractive using a more updated strategy for diversity, equity and inclusion? Can our industry catch up with other industries by adopting guidelines? Are we willing to change in this area as well?

You can contribute by telling your story to the All Aboard Alliance and their project Unspoken. Please do so and thereby contribute to the maritime industry's development of a future-proof workplace. 

I am all ears should you want to share your views with me; hello@shippingpodcast.com

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.
