Today we celebrate for the first time the International Day of Women in Shipping which was established by a recent decision of the International Maritime Organization.
Cyprus recognises that women have a role and a say in all shipping matters and today introduces a new term in the international shipping terminology “WOMANNING SHIPPING” highlighting the need for gender equality while promoting shipping and the blue economy as a choice of studies and professional orientation with great perspective for women as well.
Below link to film which was produced by the Shipping Deputy Ministry dedicated to them:
