Winston Churchill on Maritime Decarbonization- What would Winston Do?

Winston Churchill on Maritime Decarbonization- What would Winston Do? 

Sir Winston Churchill

We know Winston Churchill as the Prime Minister who led Great Britain to success during World War II.  His reputation for statesmanship, opinions, and alcohol consumption is the stuff of historical icons.  But did you ever think of him as a voice in Maritime’s current struggle with decarbonization?

The past few days have been rife with reports, criticisms, and lightly veiled threats relating to the IMO’s...

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…

Charles Dickens penned this famous observation in 1859 to open his great literary work, A Tale of Two Cities.  Set against a backdrop of the French Revolution, it reflected a complex situation filled with elements ranging from imprisonment and injustice to social anarchy and resurrection.  Above all, it was about creating profound change.

Keeping all the balls in the air…

Keeping all the balls in the air…

What a time to be a shipowner!!!  I don’t remember when all the proverbial balls were in the air—at the same time!  Yes, it is normally an adrenaline-fueled life full of challenges galore!  But to tick all the boxes at the same time could possibly result in overloading the system!

Top of mind for me recently is defense.  We see tensions building in the Middle East, which is already a tinderbox, with the Israeli/Palestinian conflict added to the seizure by the...

The intersection of size, influence and responsibility

The intersection of size, influence and responsibility

Size matters- with it comes with influence and also responsibility.  With 100 companies dominating ocean industries that power could be abused—or used to improve how we take care of our resources while maximizing efficiency, and revenues
