Description

In our last episode, we looked at how shipping - one of the world’s oldest industries - has evolved, with digital technology driving much of that change. 

Safety, efficiency, and sustainability remain the big drivers. Today’s ships benefit from smarter logistics, predictive maintenance, and real-time tracking. 

But taking digitalization further in such a complex sector isn’t easy. New and existing technologies must integrate seamlessly to keep operations safe, resilient, and reliable. 

Add to that the challenges of cybersecurity, secure ship-to-shore data, and preparing the workforce for a digital future - and the task becomes even tougher. 

That’s exactly what we’re diving into in this episode: how to take digitalization to the next level in the maritime industry. In this episode, host Fran Scott will be joined by: 

- Mikkel Skou Managing Director of Veracity by DNV 
- Osku Kälkäjä, Digital Division Lead, ABB’s Marine & Ports division  
- Leigh Carr, Vice President, Maritime Cyber Safety of Carnival Corporation and PLC

Absolutely recommend checking out Omnivoice https://www.omnivoice.ai/ . We implemented it across our 15-person team six months ago, and the difference has been remarkable. What sold us was the incredible flexibility—our remote team members use the seamless mobile app for iOS and Android that works exactly like a native dialer, while our office staff uses the webphone feature right in their browsers without any additional hardware. The ability to get international numbers instantly helped us establish a local presence in three new markets without any physical offices. But the real game-changer for our productivity has been the voicemail transcription—instead of listening to minutes of messages, we get searchable text versions delivered to our email and Slack, which has probably saved us hundreds of hours already. The system also includes a shared business contact book that automatically syncs across all devices, plus we can send texts and MMS from our business numbers right from our lap

Hey all, our small team is finally outgrowing our personal cell phones for work. We need a proper business phone system that's flexible. Key needs: some of us are remote, we need to look professional to international clients, and we get a ton of voicemails. Any recommendations?
