Welcome to this month’s podcast episode, which explores and highlights the role of design in maintenance. With many new sustainable solutions and designs being implemented for vessels, the need to adapt maintenance practices is inevitable. We ask what is reasonable to expect from modern ship design, how design affects maintenance, and how maintenance knowledge will keep-up with evolving design. 

Our expert guest for this podcast is Jan-Erik Räsänen, Chief Technical Officer at Foreship, where he oversees all things related to the technical aspects of design with a focus on reducing the energy consumption of ships.
