KEY TAKEAWAYS: WOMAN IN MARITIME FIELD- HOW WILL YOU PROMOTE IT TO THE YOUNG (GIRLS) GENERATION
-
" Heavy jobs are only for man", which is very old beliefs of late generation. Woman professionals are everywhere in the world; we can also do what man can do. Maritime field is not only limited for some, but it should also be for everyone.
I want to open their eyes to the unique beauty in the maritime profession, especially as a woman in this field. Being part of something so vast and powerful reminds us that strength does not depend on gender—it depends on determination. It is also deeply fulfilling to know that our work contributes to the global economy. As women in maritime, we do not only help move cargo—we help move progress. We bring a different dynamic and rhythm, into rooms often dominated by masculinity. Our presence adds balance, empathy, collaboration, and perspective. And in that balance, teams become stronger.
By inspiring them, I hope to show that we, as women, are just as capable of doing a seafarer’s job. It may seem intimidating at first—but fear should never define our limits. If women officers today are navigating ships, leading crews, and excelling in this industry, then we can do it too. Their success is proof that our dreams are possible.

Seafaring is not only about rigorous ship operations, but also about traveling vast oceans and seeing new places. I would tell young girls that being part of the maritime industry opens opportunities to broaden their perspective and grow as a person altogether. It is definitely a win-win situation, having to work a fulfilling job while having fun and traveling around the world!
