Courtesy of E.A. Gibson Shipbrokers ‘The Shipbrokers Podcast’ and made available on Future Bound, listen to their recent podcast episode with KCC’s CEO Engebret Dahm, interviewed by Gibon’s podcast host Richard Matthews.
Matthews speaks with Dahm about the rise, fall, and resurgence of tanker/dry-bulk “two-in-one” vessels. The conversation also covers operational complexities such as cargo switching and tank cleaning, early resistance from oil majors, and the broader, more diversified customer base seen today. Dahm highlights the high barriers to entry—from vessel design to crew expertise and systems—as well as the role of efficiency in decarbonization, the limitations of current CII metrics, ongoing retrofit investments, alternative fuel flexibility, and the value of extending asset life through strong, customer-backed contracts.
