At the Ninth Anniversary of the SS El Faro Disaster, Here is a Bob Frump Podcast About Maritime Safety, the SS Poet, the SS Marine Electric , the El Faro and Frump’s Forty Years on the Maritime Beat

I sat down with Cyprus-based Captain VS Parani a while back and think this podcast may be of interest to those following maritime, maritime writing and the impact of the wrecks of the SS Marine Electric and the SS El Faro. The Marine Electric sank in February 1983. The El Faro sank in October 2015.

In my opinion, they are two of the most significant wrecks in American history in terms of important reforms.

The podcast with Captain Parani was a gas for me. It’s always great to talk with a sea farer who knows his stuff. I’d know nothing without them.

(Captain VS Parani, FNI, FICS, CMarTech-IMarEST is currently Vice President – Marine at Tufton Asset Management Ltd., Cyprus. He is also the author of Golden Stripes – Leadership on the High Seas and producer of the GoldenStripes Podcast. He can be reached at parani.org )
