Glad you enjoyed it!

Rob Marrs replied to Lex Muusse
Great. Thank you - glad you found it useful. Look forward to learning with you next week.
-
Rob Marrs replied to Harold Bean
Thanks - great ideas.
-
Rob Marrs replied to Syeda Faiz Habib
I'm unsure but I'll do my best to find out!
-
There's a section of the course all about how Lloyd's started.
-
Rob Marrs replied to Giuliana Bisogni
Welcome! One of life's odd serendipities is I'm (away from work) reading a book set in Naples.
We look forward to learning from you too. Whilst learners we hope will learn, we always learn a lot from you - especially those of you who are legally qualified or working in shipping.

Rob Marrs replied to Rosemary M.
Great to have a Scottish lawyer sign up and romantics more than welcomed!
-
Rob Marrs replied to Sara Mccarthy
Wonderful - welcome aboard!
-
Rob Marrs replied to JANAKA SIRIWARDENA
I thought people might ask about that...
-
A great point and one that hasn't been raised in any of the course runs, from memory.
-
Rob Marrs replied to Emmanuel Mezoh Dolakeh
You've come to the right place.

Thanks, Frances - we go through the next steps this week. Hopefully they help!

Here you go: smart ships saving on fuel:
-
I really don't know, to be honest but clearly the IMO regulations are of the utmost importance.
-
Great point - and a real threat
-
The effects of Brexit are on everyone’s mind. There was a good article recently on the BBC about shipping and the environment. I’ll see if I can find it.
-
Rob Marrs replied to John G Cahill
Now is your chance! Welcome.
-
Rob Marrs replied to Marcos Elizalde
Wow! Looking forward to hearing industry insight. Thank you for signing up.

Yes, amazing footage!

Thanks

I'll speak to the guys at Strathclyde about extending Ardcalloch!
-
Rob Marrs replied to Neil Amner
@NeilAmner great to have a Scottish solicitor involved. We hope you enjoy it!
-
Rob Marrs replied to Marine Delaporte
Best of luck with the bar exam
-
Thnaks for sharing
-
Rob Marrs replied to Christopher Fung
If it is relevant to your practice then I'd suggest that around 3 hours per week would be fine - so 12 hours maximum?
-
Rob Marrs replied to Christopher Fung
@ChristopherFung great suggestions. Many thanks. Great to have a Scottish solicitor doing the course.
-
With the subtitles: we used the futurelearn service for that. If there are errors there I'm really unsure how to go about fixing them.
In terms of the transcripts, I'll hunt them out
Great feedback. Many thanks.
-
Rob Marrs replied to Leo Martin
@ChristopherFung it really should do, yes.
-
Rob Marrs replied to Ciaran Parker
This is lovely feedback to read, thank you all

Thank you, @IanJenkinson

Rob Marrs replied to Leo Martin
Thanks, Leo!
-
I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing!
-
Rob Marrs replied to May Fung Danis
I'm afraid, I'm unsure. I hope Ed will jump in when he gets a chance.
-
Rob Marrs replied to Anthony Washington
They would!
-
Absolutely. We suggest it as further reading.
-
@SueHinds tHANK YOU!
-
Probably has done more for global prosperity than just about any other person - well, maybe Sir Tim Berners-Lee?
-
@AnthonyWashington Quite so. The City of London is distinct in many ways but it is not a separate state.
-
Just so!
-
Rob Marrs replied to Elisa Bird
This is interesting. This is our second course run and last time I didn't think anyone mentioned cabotage - although the learner profile was similar. Interesting isn't it? Anyway, thanks for raising!
-
Great to hear!
-
One of the many great unknowns of Brexit!
-
Rob Marrs replied to May Fung Danis
Will double check!
-
Rob Marrs replied to Jenny Williams
Great to have a fellow Merseysider learning!
-
Anthony explains it perfectly. Isle of Man isn't part of the UK (neither are Channel Islands)
-
Spot on!
-
Rob Marrs replied to Leo Martin
That's the plan!
-
Rob Marrs replied to Leo Martin
I'm not sure why it would need to be US?
-
Rob Marrs replied to Elisa Bird
It is later on, I think!
-
I hadn't realised there was such an issue of piracy in the Bight of Benin. Thanks for sharing.
-
Really interesting thoughts. Thanks for sharing.
-
Interesting thoughts. Many thanks.
-
Welcome! I'm sure we can learn from one another.
-
Rob Marrs replied to May Fung Danis
Agreed. Great points.

Rob Marrs replied to Severo Ravu
Great to have a learner from Fiji!
-
Great list. What do you think makes a reputable flag?
-
Yes, great point @RoderickMackinnon
-
Rob Marrs replied to Bernard Leavold
@AnthonyWashington I think eye watering is probably a good enough description. But think about how much a ship could make a company?
-
Great thoughts. Thanks for commenting. What are you looking to get from the course?
-
Rob Marrs replied to Ciaran Parker
A classic series! Please dive in with comments and questions.
-
Rob Marrs replied to Alan Dorrell
Great. We look forward to working with you.
-
@TristramTweedie Have seen some really interesting analysis on the supply chain issues coming out of Brexit. When you talk about our fleet do you mean registered here?
-
Absolutely - good insights, thanks for sharing.
What tech do you think will affect shipping?
And what can the industry do to attract (and retain) talent?
-
We have steps on Panama later on... perhaps unsurprisingly.
I suspect that technology - particularly how shipping utilises blockchain - will be crucial going forward.
-
Rob Marrs replied to Thomas Johnston
@ThomasJohnston we'll go in to some depth on ownership over the weeks. I look forward to learning with you.

Rob Marrs replied to yusuf Ibrahim isah
Great!

What would you like to know?

I'm sure we'll all learn a lot from you too. Please do keep commenting and asking questions.

I think it might be best to drop Ed an email...
-

Our pleasure. Many thanks.

Interesting thought. We'll look into this for futuure runs

Great - thanks!

Quite so. I find arbitration fascinating. Would be interested to learn more - perhaps a MOOC?
-
Fantastic depth. Many thanks for taking the time to share with us.
-
One of the related media in the first step of the first week was a timelapse of a container ship going around the world. AMAZING.
-
I suppose so... but the coffee seemed to intensify the trade!
-
Rob Marrs replied to Anne LaBarbera
Hope you caught up!
-
Great!

Great to hear!

Rob Marrs replied to Ben J Singh
