The maritime industry has acknowledged the problem, and measurements to prevent any harassment and bullying are being discussed by industry bodies.

Sid Lewis, Partner Jones Walker LLP, and Sara Kuebel, Associate in the Jones Walker Maritime Practice Group, explained the new regulations, and I got to ask for more details.

What is going on with shipping?

In episode 232, Sal Mercogliano, a former mariner, a teacher and a Youtuber, is the guest. We talk about the global hotspots and how what is going on there impacts shipping.

Sal is passionate about putting today's shipping in a historical context. He started his Youtube channel, What is Going on with Shipping, when EVER GIVEN was stuck in the Suez Canal, and he found it so fun, he got so many people cheering him on, so he decided to take it to the next level. 

With more than 180,000 subscribers to his channel, Sal is an influencer in the maritime space. We had an exciting conversation about the Red Sea, the Black Sea, the Suez Canal, and the Panama Canal. We talked about seafarers, mariners, leadership, diversity & inclusion, geopolitics and everything there between. 

Hopefully, you will enjoy our conversation as much as we did. Please give us a shoutout on social media, and don't forget to subscribe to both our channels. #everyconversationmatters

Spearheading wind-assisted propulsion

WindWings project is a commitment to leading the way towards a zero-carbon future while enhancing vessel efficiency. BAR Technologies believe there is more to be done to harness wind power and push shipping into a greener and more efficient era for the shipping industry.

We cannot wait for future newbuildings to help us meet new regulations and CO2 reductions. There is a need also for refitting of the existing fleet. The WindWings installation is part of Berge Bulk’s ambition to become carbon neutral by 2025 and lead the world to a zero-carbon future through safe, efficient, and sustainable shipping. 

In addition to become carbon neutral, WindWings is a way to show the general public that the maritime industry is changing and is contributing to the solution by taking on the challenges. 

What is your view? Do you believe in sails on the current merchant fleet?
