FRIDAY 17.3.2023

Baltic Insights is a three part mini series of the Aronnax Podcast where I (Craig Eason) travelled on three Finnlines vessels to talk to the crew about their futures and to take a look at the changing Baltic Sea.

Many thanks to the crew of the Finnlines vessels Europalink, Finnlady and Finnswan for offering their time and thoughts and to the company for letting me travel around the Baltic Sea.

You can read more about the company and the new vessels that Finnlines will soon be deploying on its routes by going to www.finnlines.com

I also want to thank SeaFocus for the idea of this tremendous voyage and the support in realisation of it. 

We are happy to announce that the Nordic energy company Gasum joins the Intelligence Hunt project.

Gasum is a leading LNG and bio-LNG bunkering company in the Baltic Sea and North Sea area. Bio-LNG or LBG means liquefied biogas. Biogas is made from organic material, and it has the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 90% compared to fossil gas. 

The core question in the project is to better understand the bunkering market and how the regulatory and other changes will impact the market and bunkering customer decision making, including from the shippers’ and ship owners’ perspective.

We are happy to announce that the Finnish Maritime Archaeological Society (MAS) and SeaFocus have agreed on Partnership and MAS will join the co-operation as a Developing Partner. 

The society promotes maritime archaeological research, education, and citizen science in Finland. As a Federation of Finnish Learned Societies member, the organization collaborates closely with universities and the Finnish Heritage Agency to identify and study new and old wrecks.

SeaFocus was invited to participate annual held LetExpo in Verona Italy by A.L.I.S. the Logistic Association of Sustainable Intermodality. 

The exhibition took place 8-11.3. 

Ulla Keino, the CEO of SeaFocus took part in panel discussion on ”NEXT GENERATION EU: transport & logistics sustainability”.

Silvia Serafini, SeaFocus Junior Consultant,  will be participating the LetExpo 2023 with Ulla Keino, CEO of SeaFocus, who also will be a speaker there. This is a great way to put Silvia's professionalism and passion in sustainability in use as she is interested in promoting sustainability across different industries.

Silvia's exclusive task is to promote SeaFocus' “Intelligence Hunt” in Italy, both to students and to the exhibitors and guests of LetExpo, and beyond. In the future Silvia will be working as a Junior Consultant in the projects related to Southern European markets.
