Stephen M. Carmel, Senior Vice President, Maritime Services, Maersk Line Limited was a keynote speaker to the USNI/AFCEA Joint War Fighting Conference in Virginia Beach, VA. on the morning of May 14, 2008. I was there, and one thing that can be said about Mr. Carmel is that he can send zingers into the crowd, but he talks fast enough that as your mind is processing it, another one comes shooting out.
The presentation was fantastic, the content was rich, and when it was over I got in line right behind RADM Jay Cohen (ret) to introduce myself, but more importantly, to ask for a transcript of his presentation.
This speech was superbly delivered, over 7500 words and unless war breaks out in North Korea over the weekend, will probably be one of the more interesting things you will read today. In the Q&A after the speech, Mr. Carmel admitted that many of the facts come from the statistical and business research conducted by Maersk.
Enjoy!
