How Big Ships Work and Adapt to Changing Times | Tico Takolander

from The Talking Ass · host Daniel Orvomaa

Kaj "Tico" Takolander is in charge of the passenger operations of a major European port that services almost 10 million passengers annually. He joins us to share stories and insights from a long career in the maritime industry and to set us straight on its current state. We discuss adapting to new challenges, including the pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and Tico also reveals how sewage and waste are managed on big ships. Danny's nerdiness is also in full bloom, especially when it comes to obscure ships from the past and where they have ended up.Follow Talking Ass on your favourite platform and send your thoughts to [email protected] or use the contact form on the website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Talking Ass Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠For exceptional website building, SEO and incorporation services, visit ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Evue - Superior Web SolutionsKeywordsshipping, cruise industry, Baltic Sea, passenger traffic, Poop Cruise, M/S Estonia, Viking Sally, true crime, sewage management, environmental concerns, cruise destinations, waste management, alternative fuels, Royal Caribbean, MSC
