This issue focusses on the key issue of gender diversity within
shipping and maritime logistics.
Diversity is critical if the industry wishes to sustain itself. There
are already predictions of significant skills shortages as soon as
2025, so action is essential.
With anywhere between 2% and 5% of female seafarers across
the world and a low percentage of women working in operational
roles onshore in the broader logistics sector, we have a lot of work
to do closing the gap.
Our conversations with women in the preparation of this issue
made it clear there needs to be greater awareness of maritime and
logistics career pathways and options for young people.
We need to look at laws that actually promote equality, those
that address discrimination, gender pay gaps, and that relate to
women’s priorities.
This year, Jillian Carson-Jackson and Jeanine Drummond have
been documenting the stories of women working in shipping and
logistics in support of the IMO’s 2019 theme of ‘Empowering
Women in the Maritime Community’.
These stories have shown women still experiencing significant
barriers, but also celebrate those tremendous examples of success.
We also speak with some of our female leaders about their
passion for the industry and what it takes to make it to the top.
We hope you find this issue both informative and inspiring.
