In a new monthly series the Seatrade Maritime Podcast will be examining these issues in depth with well renown maritime leader Punit Oza as a guest presenter.

Punit, recently struck out on his own with Maritime NXT, and has a career that has spanned dry bulk shipping, chartering, law, and technology, as well as passion for the intersection between the maritime industries and global trade, something he is passing to the younger generation through a teaching and mentoring.
