International Maritime Organization secretary-general Kitack Lim
addressing the AMSA event in Sydney on 29 July
Celebrating women in maritime
IN AN HISTORIC OCCASION THE
secretary-general of the International
Maritime Organization, Kitack Lim, visited
Australia in July. It was the first time that
an IMO secretary-general had done so.
On 29 July, the Australian Maritime
Safety Authority held an event in Sydney
to celebrate the IMO 2019 theme of
empowering women in the maritime
community where Mr Lim gave an address
along with a number of accomplished
women in the industry.
On 19 July, the Sydney Airport Ladies
Association held its annual Christmas in
July luncheon, a special event celebrating
30 years of the association. The event was
attended by more than 100 women from
customs, quarantine, airlines, shipping
lines, logistics and service providers.
The CBFCA also organised a highly
successful event at the Queensland
Tattersall’s Race Day. It was a sellout event
with members enjoying fantastic weather,
great food and drinks at the Eagle Farm
Birdcage. The day was such a success that
CBFCA is now looking for a larger venue for
next year’s event.
