International Day for Women in Maritime - May 18

Important Days

May 18th is the International Day for Women in Maritime, an annual event initiated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) of the United Nations. The purpose of this day is to highlight women's participation in the industry and emphasize the efforts to include more women. The maritime sector is an international industry with significant competition. This industry, which includes shipping companies, shipyards, equipment, and service providers, ensures value creation and employment along the entire coast. The sector must attract labor and maintain its competitive edge in the face of societal changes, and it is crucial to ensure recruitment from the entire population. The Minister of Fisheries and Ocean Policy encourages everyone to mark this important day and to support women in the maritime industry
