Empowering the Maritime Industry: Morning Breakfast Event for Female Leaders in the Naval Field
In the maritime sector, a growing awareness of the need for gender diversity has not translated into tangible results, according to the Women in Maritime Survey 2024. The survey, involving 88 member states and 608 private organizations, has revealed that the female share of the maritime workforce stands at a dismal 16%, a decrease from 26% in 2021.
One of the most critical findings is the severe underrepresentation of women in maritime roles at sea, where they make up barely 1% of seafarers. This underscores the persistence of gender inequality in the maritime sector.
The survey results highlight ongoing challenges in recruitment, retention, and integrating women into all facets of maritime work, suggesting that progress is fragmented and limited to small pockets rather than systemic change.
In light of these findings, an upcoming Women in Maritime breakfast session will be hosted by an organization yet to be specified. The event, scheduled for an unspecified date and time, will bring together esteemed industry professionals to discuss steps taken, lessons learned, and the confidence needed to push boundaries in fostering a more inclusive and diverse maritime sector.
Confirmed speakers for the event include leading ship owners, who will share their insights, experiences, and visions. Registration for the event is currently open, and the full speaker lineup will be announced shortly.
The declining representation of women in the maritime sector calls for intensified efforts to address entrenched gender inequality and the broader human capital challenges in the industry. The event aims to contribute to these efforts by facilitating discussions and sharing best practices that can drive systemic change.
The location of the event is yet to be announced. Stay tuned for more updates on this important event.
