Number of Indian women seafarers in workforce rise 7-fold: Maersk - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

Integrated container logistics firm Maersk on Friday said the number of Indian women seafarers in its workforce in India has grown more than seven-fold to over 350 in the last three years, driven by its 'Equal at Sea' initiative launched in 2022 to bring gender equality in the country's maritime sector.

"With recent cadet inductions, the number of Indian women seafarers has surpassed the 350 mark, from a mere 41 in 2021, contributing significantly to improving the diversity," the company announced here on Friday.

The programme brings different stakeholders across the industry on a common platform, which serves as a hub for exchanging ideas, understanding industry challenges, learning from each other, and implementing the best practices, according to Maersk.
