#Vlog 005 by Mr. Pilot

This expert article is based on a presentation given by Capt. Pilot Sven Stemmler at the MCN's (Maritimes Cluster Norddeutschland e. V. ) event ‘On the Future of the Pilot Profession’ at Fraunhofer CML in Hamburg on 9 September 2025.

This action seeks compensation for injuries he alleges have prematurely ended his career in shipping.
