The Lloyd’s List Podcast: In conversation with shipping leaders

When we set up this podcast one of the stated aims was to tell the story of interesting and important people doing interesting and important things within the shipping industry, so this week I’m handing over the reigns to our insurance and law editor David Osler who has been out and about talking to just such a pair of people. Lindsay Malen-Habib is a senior sales director at Resolve Marine Group, but she is also the new president of the American Salvage Association. She talks to Dave about both of her jobs, and gives us an update on the recent Hoegh Xiamen car carrier casualty in Jacksonville. Then we have Drewry’s Susan Oatway is the first woman chair of the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers. Susan explains why she believes the ICS, as shipping’s professional body, is just as important now as it was when it got its royal charter in 1920.
