Joanne Kelleher, Editor
“I always strive to do more. Let us know what we can do better.”
Working with the BBN team to build our own independent news channel has been one of my favourite career projects to date – pulling my experience and network together to create the most compelling content for our readers and supporters.
I am so proud of the progress we have made in broadening our readership base, engaging bright new writers and journalists, and interviewing industry professionals. Moreover, our Chatham Chats Forum and our Letter to the Editor column have gone a long way to opening up the subjects most relevant to our industry.
Working with BBN allows me to combine my two passions of communication and maritime. I’m no stranger to the maritime and logistics industry having worked with various organisations in shipping and now I also run my own Maritime PR and Communications company Buoy Communications.
Tom Scott, Writer
“There are so many great things happening in the maritime industry. Let’s tell the stories!”
I am a freelance maritime journalist and copywriter. Originally from the UK, I have lived and worked in the USA, Greece, and New Zealand, before deciding that the Netherlands was a great place to live.
My editorial responsibilities at BBN include researching and writing the stories relevant to the readers. My goal is to give people in the maritime industry a voice. By asking the right questions, I want to give people the opportunity to share their knowledge, tell their project stories and air their opinions.
One of my driving forces is the belief in the importance of increasing sustainability throughout the industry. I am also a tech-freak who loves the challenge of explaining the most complicated concepts in terms that everyone can understand.
Gina Panayiotou, Writer & Broadcaster
“Committed to making a difference – So let’s make a difference together!”
Maritime lawyer by profession, “Brand Ambassador” by passion, I am the founder and CVO of Oceans Arena, a start-up consultancy practise. Oceans Arena, provides an innovative bespoke approach when it comes to delivering global legal support and strategy to Startups, NGO’s, SMEs and corporates, across the oceans industry and beyond, especially those with ESG focus.
Having enjoyed numerous senior roles in both in-house & private practise, my expertise range from maritime transactional law & policy, with focus on ESG compliance, contract, commercial, corporate & ship finance law, as well as writing, business development, market penetration strategies, key messaging & brand concept formulation.
Coming on to my role in the BBN team, if I asked you to complete the sentence “It’s ALL about…,” what would you say?For me, the shipping industry was “love at first sight.” Discovering how coffee, medicine, food and more or less everything, get from one part of the world to another, was so fascinating it inspired the concept of the broadcast I proudly host, aimed at spreading the message of how vital this sector is in making the world go round; “It’s ALL about Shipping.” In this respect, I am psyched to be joining the BBN team as both a writer and host of a new broadcast concept, bringing to you a series of “It’s ALL about…” talks, where we will explore together the evolution of this fascinating sector, as it is navigating through exciting times.
Sanny Ensing, Maritime Journalist
“I believe everyone has a good story to tell.”
I am a writer, editor and cultural scientist who embraces constructive journalism. I love to dig deep and focus on what drives and motivates people and I believe everyone has a good story to tell. I’m a former newspaper journalist, was raised on the Caribbean island of St. Maarten and moved to The Netherlands to work as a maritime editor in Vlissingen, Zeeland.
I enjoy writing personal profiles that showcase the enthusiasm for this niche market as well as features on sustainability and the green shift.
