QUOTABLES:
Lauren Beagen: “90% of all goods are shipped via the big cargo ships, there are many issues that pop up all the time. Navigating through the legal straits that every cargo ship must cross underscores the monumental stakes of maritime law.”
Gabby Salazar: “Working in a male-dominated field, it’s like just another day in the office… our office just floats and is 1,000 feet long.”
Chris Cook: “The invasion of Ukraine… opened up a series of enormously important stories.”
Nick Chubb: “Streamlining this ancient industry is about more than just integrating new technology; it’s about changing the way we think about shipping and logistics.”
