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.

We fully support Secretary Lim’s message as well as maritime organizations run by empowered women including WISTA International and Women Offshore.
