Top Tier: Containers overboard with Jos Koning

Since 1992, Naval Architect, Jos Koning has been researching the behaviour of ships and floating structures such as offshore oil rigs, mega yachts, navy ships and even race sailing boats, using MARIN's state-of-the-art facilities to analyse how vessels operate in waves, sea, and wind and weather. But the red line throughout Jos's extensive research career is container ships - from their demure late 90's size of no more than 5,000 CTU, to vessels that now of course top the scale at 24,000 CTU.

In this episode, Jos and Josh discuss Top Teir. A joint industry project headed by MARIN, the group of over 40 stakeholders are on a quest to identify the root causes driving container loss at sea, the possible mitigating actions available - and whether they could they be adopted in practice through changing standards and regulations, in a way that can be successfully accepted by all involved, from authorities to industry.
