Heading for change - innovative solutions for steel cargo

Alandia Loss Prevention Team Season 2 Episode 24

This month our focus is on steel cargo. The maritime industry changes rapidly and this means that shipowners need to stay updated and find creative solutions to keep up.  

To get some insight on how steel cargo looks from a shipowner’s point of view, we talked with Laura Langh-Lagerlöf. Laura, with her commercial background, is the Managing Director of both Langh Ship and Langh Tech. Langh ship is a family-owned company that transports steel, bulk, and container cargoes, and Langh Tech is a company that designs and produces scrubbers and ballast water treatment units. These companies have adopted innovative thinking and have developed a number of patented solutions for the transportation of steel products. Keep listening to hear about some fresh thinking within shipping.
