Shipping Podcast - this is where we talk about the coolest industry on the planet and help raise the maritime industry's profile.

Mayday! Who is answering your emergency call?

In episode 244, we meet Lina Buurstra, a SAR Mission Coordinator at the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre. She answers your call when you are in distress, and she knows how to make things right again. Lina has a background as a Master Mariner before becoming a rescue leader.

We hear about what incidents stuck with Lina, and she also tells the behind-the-scenes story of what happened when the MARCO POLO went aground in Swedish waters last year.

Lina and her colleagues are more than a voice in your worst moment. They are truly professional and have earned our respect and friendship.
