Synopsis
A ripple effect is a situation in which one event produces effects which spread and produce further effects - like a simple drop of water creates rings in the greater body of water around it. In this podcast, we will explore ripple effects, big and small, starting within DFDS, but expanding outward to the maritime industry and even occasionally society at large. DFDS is Europes largest ferry operator, with offices in 21 countries and nearly 8000 employees. We operate freight and passenger ferries. If youve crossed the English Channel on a ferry, youve likely sailed with us.
