1. What aspects of the maritime sector appeal to you?

My enthusiasm for meteorology and oceanography combined with my interest in life and work at sea, which I experienced through my father, drive my aspiration to experience and shape how this economic branch develops and how professions at sea change. Even with all the technological developments and – which fascinates me as meteorologist in particular – even with the ongoing development of weather forecasts, seafaring remains a professional branch where the unpredictability of the elements still affects economic success, environmental impacts and even life and death. To help shape and affect something with this is an incredibly exciting task.
