Cyprus celebrates International Women in Shipping Day
with..."WOMANNING SHIPPING"
Today we celebrate for the first time the International Women in Shipping Day, which was established by a recent decision of the International Maritime Organization.
Cyprus recognises that women have both a role and a voice in shipping and today introduces a new term in international shipping terminology, "WOMANNING SHIPPING", highlighting the need for gender equality, while promoting shipping and the blue economy as a study and career option with great potential for women.
