Championing Women in the Ports Sector
The maritime industry stands at a critical crossroads where gender diversity is not merely a social imperative but a business necessity. Women hold just 16% of port operations roles globally, and only 1.3% of seafaring roles — not a pipeline problem, but a structural one. Women in Ports is a global community working to close that gap, driving meaningful change through five strategic hubs — Innovation, Research & Analysis, Advocacy, Knowledge and Future Ports — unlocking opportunities for women across the ports industry while supporting the sector’s shift towards more sustainable, environmentally responsible operations.
