Plugged In: How Shore Power Is Cleaning Up Our Ports In this episode, we dig into shore power—the system that lets docked ships plug into port power rather than burning fuel on board. This simple switch reduces fuel use, drastically cuts air pollution, and helps port cities enforce anti-idling laws. Listen to Maria Bos, CEO of Plug, a professional operator focusing on stable, easy-to-use shore power installations. Maria has extensive experience in innovation, digitalisation, and strategy across the financial and renewable energy sectors. Plug is an Eviny-owned shore power company. Thank you for listening.

Are we walking the talk of clean shipping? In this episode you will listen to Danielle Southcott, Founder & CEO of the Veer Group, a multi-award-winning clean shipping startup. With the help of startup angel investors, the Veer Group is ready to build the worlds' first container vessel with no combustion at all. It's all Wind, hydrogen fuel cells, and an electric engine. Danielle is very passionate about this project. The biggest hurdle has been establishing credibility and cutting through the greenwashing she thinks is happening.

It's been ten years! Ten years of learning, finding new friends, and building something new and exciting! In this episode, Lena walks down memory lane and gives a little bit of behind-the-scenes content. It was hard to decide what to share, what my listeners are interested in hearing, and what I haven't shared previously. I dive into what I have learned, and what I might have contributed to the maritime industry by starting the first podcast focusing on shipping, ten years ago. And there is a little announcement as well, the Shipping Podcast has been awarded the "Best Maritime Storytelling Specialist 2025 (Europe)" by the Logistics Warehouse and Supply Chain Awards! How about that? Thank you for listening! I am eager to get your feedback. Please email me at [email protected] #everyconversationmatters

Turning the tide "Rejection is just another wave to ride." These words by Elizabeth Marami echo far beyond the deck of a ship—they speak to every woman daring to defy the odds. Listen to Liz Marami; she is a trailblazer in every sense of the word. She was the first female pilot in the Port of Mombasa, the first woman onboard many ships, and the first person of colour on the bridge of a cruise ship. She doesn't stop there; she has more ambition, wanting to make a change, and by simply being herself, she is changing how the world views women in the maritime industry. This is an episode you'll want to listen to. Liz's story will inspire you and motivate you to support her as she moves forward. #everyconversationmatters

Captain Kate McCue Sets a New Course Why did Captain Kate McCue—trailblazing mariner and the face of modern cruising—leave her high-profile role at Celebrity Cruises? And what's bringing her to the shipyards of Italy, where she's helping shape one of the most ambitious luxury yachting projects in the world? In this episode, we explore McCue's bold transition from mega cruise ships to the helm of Four Seasons Yacht I, the first ultra-luxury vessel from the iconic hotel brand. Slated for a 2026 debut, this yacht promises a new kind of sea travel—intimate, personalised, and curated with precision. And at the centre of it all is Kate McCue, already on the ground (or rather, in dry dock), overseeing its final build phase.
