“Empowering Women in the Maritime Community” has been selected as the World Maritime Day theme for 2019. This video from the IMO Secretary-General, Kitack Lim, raises awareness of the importance of gender equality, in line with the SDGs, and highlights the important contribution of women all over the world to the maritime sector.
Did you know that gCaptain was cofounded by 2nd Mate Cindy Konrad? gCaptain fully understands that our industry needs not only to support Women but empower them to lead. We fully support Secretary Lim’s message as well as maritime organizations run by empowered women including WISTA International and Women Offshore.
