An ocean of opportunities for women: celebrating women in maritime

This May 18, on the International Day for Women in Maritime, we celebrate the strength, skill and perseverance of women in maritime.

The International Maritime Organization has declared this year’s theme An Ocean of Opportunities for Women, a reminder that women are not just part of the maritime world, they’re helping lead it.

On our ships, women lead galley teams, work the decks, keep operations safe and running smoothly. From catering to command, engineering to administration, women in our union show up with grit, care and professionalism every day. It’s tough work, and it matters.

To all the women in our union who show up every day, at sea, on shore and behind the scenes — thank you. You inspire change just by doing your job. Your presence matters. Your work matters. And the future is better with you in it.
