New Off Course podcast: seafarers' role in shipping's green future

Third engineer Amilia Busby shares her insights on how seafarers are navigating the maritime industry's transition to sustainability in the latest Nautilus Off Course podcast.

Ms Busby, who recently completed her three-year cadetship with Heidelberg Materials, discusses her experience with environmental innovations onboard ships and the evolving role of marine engineers in decarbonisation efforts.

The episode explores practical questions facing today's seafarers:

• How are crews adapting to alternative fuels and new environmental technologies?
• What training and support do maritime professionals need as regulations tighten?
• And what recommendations does she have for those looking to break into the industry?

Seafarers' jobs are evolving as the industry moves to cleaner, greener practices, positioning maritime professionals at the frontline of shipping's environmental ransformation.

Ms Busby, a Careers At Sea Ambassador and 2025 Nautilus Bevis Minter Award recipient, also reflects on her unconventional path to maritime – from a professional rugby career to earning her HND in marine engineering from Warsash Maritime School at Solent University.

Season 4 of the Off Course podcast is exploring Nautilus International's Just Transition campaign, which advocates for an environmentally sustainable maritime industry that ensures decent work, pay and conditions for all seafarers.
