New shipping industry growth in Bermuda, the America’s Cup, and infrastructure developments were discussed by Kevin Richards when he spoke to the Shipping Podcast.

Mr Richards is a business development manager at the Bermuda Business Development Agency, and his responsibilities cover the shipping and aviation finance sectors.

He was a guest on the multimedia outlet Shipping Podcast, which shares shipping industry news across a variety of platforms, including podcasts, website, Twitter and Facebook.

During an 18-minute discussion Lena Göthberg, host and producer of Shipping Podcast, Mr Richards talked about the revitalisation of Bermuda’s shipping industry, the jurisdiction’s blue-chip reputation and the America’s Cup 2017. He also mentioned the outreach work of the BDA and industry partners, and the newly created Bermuda Shipping & Maritime Authority.
