The Maritime Executive July-August 2010 Print Edition Now Available

In the July-August PRINT edition of The Maritime Executive, we were privileged to have worked with Germanischer Lloyd AG and two of its top executives, Dr. Hermann Klein, Member of the Executive Board, and Captain Kevin Coyne, Executive Vice President of the Americas, to write about one of the most highly recognized maritime companies in the world. Since 1867, GL has been a leader in vessel classification, exemplifying along the way its core values of technical expertise, safety and quality.

Famed energy expert and author Matthew Simmons shares his insider’s point of view on the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe and renewable energy in this edition as well. Simmons doesn’t hold back, so please enjoy. Dr. Michael Economides adds his opinions on the spill and, as our readers already know, you can count on an earful from the famed professor of energy. Not to be outdone, maritime attorney and Washington expert Larry Kiern describes the political and legislative fallout from the spill on Capitol Hill. Senior Editor Jack O’Connell worked with Laurence Levy, Chairman and CEO of Rand Logistics, one of the top companies still standing on the Great Lakes, for the Executive Achievement feature and completed his duties with the latest installment of “Upgrades and Downgrades,” a must read in these volatile times.

Finally, returning writers Bob Spicer, Richard Carranza, and Barbara Saunders offer comprehensive looks at the worlds of maritime education, software and health care, respectively, all of which are required reading for executives. Last but not least, Edward Stewart of Drum Cussac shares his expert’s views on maritime security. It’s been an extremely interesting two months since the last edition, so spend some quality time reading what a few of the top maritime writers of the day have to say, and thanks again for opening these pages.
