The Past, Present and Future of Shipping

BBC World Service - The Forum, The Past, Present and Future of Shipping

New ways to travel across the ocean and to find out what lies in its depths

Underwater archaeologist Peter Campbell, biology professor Alex Rogers and naval architect Oskar Levander discuss shipping with ocean-going scientist Helen Czerski.

Ocean-going scientist Helen Czerski is joined by underwater archaeologist Peter Campbell who leads a team which recently discovered an unprecedented 22 shipwrecks around a small Greek archipelago; conservation biology Professor Alex Rogers who says that the beautiful but fragile habitats in the depths of the high seas are under increasing threat from destructive deep-sea bottom trawling;  and naval architect Oskar Levander who contends that automated and unmanned ships will dominate 21st century oceans.
