The Full Ahead Podcast

We’re an island nation but how much do we really know about the industry that keeps us connected?

Maritime supports more than half a million jobs across the UK, yet much of what happens at sea and behind the scenes goes unnoticed.

In this series, we meet the people who keep the maritime world moving — from crews at sea to the teams working ashore — shining a light on an industry many rely on but rarely think about.

Former senior shipping exexcutive, Alistair Eagles brings industry insight, while journalist Nigel Thompson brings curiosity and storytelling shaped by a lifetime spent close to the coast.

The result is an entertaining, behind-the-scenes look at a fast-changing sector full of surprising stories, challenges and characters.

New episodes featuring the people behind ferries, ports, shipping and life at sea.
