Welcome to the first edition of Full Ahead, a podcast about UK ships and shipping!
Host Alistair Eagles has 30 years experience in the industry including running a major Irish Sea freight ferry service while broadcaster and journalist Nigel Thompson just wants to learn more about the maritime world.
Our main guest is the inspirational chief officer Harvey Finney who tells us how made his way into the industry and why he promotes opportunities to young people.
We Horizon Scan to see what events are coming up in the maritime world.
And we hear the origins of an everyday phrase that may come as a surprise - a great pub quiz question!
In future editions we’ll be hearing about the life or a ships' pilot and taking a look at the big ambitions on one of the UK’s smallest ports.
