Are we following the times?
Leadership and situational awareness are not part of maritime education. If we want to achieve our goals to become sustainable, then we need the right people.
So many things have to change for us to become seriously competitive with other industries. We need to target very young children so that we can become part of their dreams.
Listen to Camilla Westergaard, one of the young people who dares to spea...

Shall I stay or should I go?
I am working my way through big decisions. Should I continue podcasting when I reach the tenth-anniversary next summer, or should I stop? How do I take the Shipping Podcast to the next level if I continue? There are so many things to consider moving forward.
