Happy 187th birthday P&O! 🎉 Did you know? 👉 The Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation company (P&O) was founded by Brodie McGhie Willcox and Arthur Anderson during a period of intense international change, just as steam-driven ships were beginning to replace traditional sailings vessels. Over the next 180+ years, the name P&O became synonymous for speed, reliability and good taste. From our beginnings in 1837, millions of passengers and trucks have travelled on P&O ships. 👉 Today P&O is a leading pan-European ferry and logistics group and a part of DP World, the leading provider of end-to-end logistic solutions and enabler of the flow of trade across the globe. P&O Ferries is a major provider of freight transport and passenger travel services, sailing on seven major routes between Great Britain, France, Northern Ireland, Netherlands and Belgium. But the best is yet to come! The 187 years of P&O history reminds me of the quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: "If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea". I'm proud to be part of the story and great team of people driven by love for shipping, logistics and transportation.

Could the UK win the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) Road Safety PIN award in the next 3 years? The answer is - Yes. With the right leadership in place, the road safety community working together to support the government and organisations taking reasonability for the management of road risk in the same way they manage other work risks. We can learn from the approach taken in Finland to see what they did over the last 10 years compared as the current winners of the award.

✈️ Thrilled to Support United Airlines’ New Catering Facility at Bush IAH! ✈️ I’m truly excited that Permit Us Now is managing the permits for the new United Airlines Catering Operations Facility including major infrastructure at Bush Intercontinental Airport. Having permitted about 200 projects for United Airlines since 2017, we’re proud to play a role in enhancing the passenger experience through permitting excellence. Permits matter—especially at Houston Airport System (HAS), where obtaining approvals involves navigating multiple jurisdictions. Here are 3 permitting tips for architects and contractors working on HAS projects: ✅ Engage Early with Agencies: Meet with key jurisdictional agencies to identify requirements and timelines upfront to avoid shocks and last-minute surprises. ✅ Understand Multi-Jurisdiction Processes: HAS involve local, state, and sometime federal approvals. Knowing which authority having jurisdiction governs what is vital. ✅ Submit Complete Packages: I have emphasized this before. Missing one document or misplacing files in online portals can cause costly delays. Double-check every detail before submission. 💬 Ready to make your next airport project to take flight? Let’s connect and discuss how Permit Us Now can help streamline your permitting process. #AirportProjects #PermittingMatters #HAS #UnitedAirlines #ConstructionTips #BuildSafe

Multinational collaboration at its finest! After more than a year of preparation, we can finally welcome our Trieste terminal branch to DFDS’s standard terminal management system (GTMS). IT implementations are tough, and you prepare for hundreds of different “what if” scenarios. So when you finally cross the finish line and it goes without any operation critical events, it is very difficult to believe that you delivered what you were sent out to do. But this week we did!! System is stable and operation continues. The implementation teams have laid the foundation for future technical transformation and further DFDS standardisation! Big milestone of bringing DFDS closer together. It is not possible to tag and thank ALL the people who played a part in this accomplishment, but I need to mention the multinational collaboration: Technology & Innovation (T&I) teams from UK, Türkiye and Denmark. Operational support from our terminals in Immingham, Gothenburg, and Pendik. And of course the courageous receiving Terminal in Trieste👏. You have all proven how much we can achieve when we work together towards a common goal. I am so proud to have taken part of this big event! Life is not a fairy tail, and it continues with all its ups and downs. So let’s remember to high-5, smile and laugh together when we can 💪 #DFDS #GTMS #wemoveforalltogrow #changemanagement #digitaltransformation #awesomepeople

This past Monday in Hamburg, Njord hosted a pivotal discussion focusing on the partnership dynamics between shipowners and charterers and their commercial alignment for technological investments. The session underscored the complexities of time charter agreements that create split incentives, restricting both parties' ability to invest in energy-saving technologies.   Key Takeaways: 1. Enhancing Fleet Efficiency: Prioritizing upgrades to keep fleets running longer aligns with sustainability goals and operational efficiency. 2. Smart Technology Integration: Selecting the right technologies is crucial for optimal performance and environmental impact. 3. Flexible Financing: Specific conditions now make financing more accessible, supporting timely technology investments. 4. Collaborative Model Enhancement: Revising charter party clauses can balance incentives, fostering greater collaboration and trust among stakeholders. Our heartfelt thanks go to Gina Chrysostomides from Hartmann Group, Eva Errebo from Maersk Tankers and Martin Grieger from Hapag Lloyd, and for their enlightening contributions, and to all attendees for their active participation and engagement. As we continue to advocate for enhanced collaboration and smarter technology investments in the maritime industry, Njord remains dedicated to facilitating dialogue and action towards more sustainable and efficient maritime operations.   #MaritimeIndustry #TechnologyInvestment #SustainableShipping #NjordEvent
