Director - Financial & Administration: Simon Smakowski

Simon opens the conversation with stories from his recent off-road motorbike trip through Bosnia. From there, we shift into his day-to-day work in fleet management. We talk about the balance between safety, efficiency, and regulation, and how technology is changing what happens behind the scenes. Simon shares a practical view of the decisions that keep ships running and crews supported, from budgeting and spare parts to the quieter work of listening to feedback and making space for people on board.
