Despina Travlou, Managing Director of Slide2Open Communications and IEEE SA Standards Association Maritime Ambassador, speaks on “Fair Winds and Following Seas” on Voice of Greece.
“The sea is a life-giving force. A source of wealth, creation and culture. At the same time, it opens horizons on many levels for all those who live and work with it and offers countless opportunities,” Ms. Travlou notes.
Referring to the 9th Slide2Open – Shipping Finance Conference, which was held with great success last week, she emphasized that one of the key findings presented there was that “research shows that global shipping is facing a shortage of 90,000 seafarers.”
