International Day for Women in Maritime 2025

May 21, 2025

On the occasion of the International Day for Women in Maritime – #WomenInMaritimeDay (May 18), established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), we send our warmest wishes to all women of the sea and to the organizations supporting their growth in the maritime sector.

We proudly congratulate Karin Orsen, founder of WISTA The Netherlands, on receiving the #IMOGenderDiversityAward for her remarkable efforts in advancing gender equality in maritime. Her leadership inspires women worldwide.

We also salute women’s associations across the globe that promote the industry, advocate for equality, and empower women’s professional development at sea.

Special greetings to our colleagues from Polish maritime women’s associations:
INSPIRA, Women Beyond Horizon, and Seasters.

Together, by sharing knowledge, supporting one another, and building global networks, we open an ocean of opportunities.
