Celebrating Women in Maritime: International Day for Women in Maritime

Celebrating women in maritime is important every day!  We put together a short video to mark the fourth International Day for Women in Maritime.

As a female-founded business, we welcome any excuse to celebrate the incredible contributions of women in the maritime industry! However, we hope that one day, we won’t need a specific day to highlight their achievements.

Observed globally on 18 May every year, Women in Maritime Day raises the profile of women in maritime, promoting their recruitment, retention, and sustained employment in the sector. This year’s focus was on the crucial role of women in ensuring maritime safety worldwide and changing attitudes towards gender in the industry.
