Lloyd's List: The Shipping PodcastShipping’s “critical juncture”In 2021, the International Maritime Organisation, together with the Women's International Shipping & Trading Association, launched a survey to collect some hard data on female representation in the global maritime industry.
The second edition of the survey was published last week to coincide with International Day for Women in Maritime 2025 (which was celebrated on May 18th).
But the results were hardly cause for celebration.
Because while some progress has been made in terms of gender diversity in the maritime industry, the data in the 2024 edition suggests shipping is going backwards.
The results of the 2024 edition showed 176,820 women working in maritime across both...2025-05-1920 min

Lloyd's List: The Shipping PodcastThe Lloyd’s List Podcast: Why are we still talking about diversity?THERE is a hint of clickbait about this week’s title – we at Lloyd’s List are of course very passionate about diversity in shipping.
But as the Women’s International Shipping & Trading Association celebrates its 50th birthday at its annual meeting in Cyprus – the question of why shipping still hasn’t achieved gender parity loomed large.
Female representation in board rooms is a societal problem, but shipping is lagging behind even those modest numbers.
The statistics are damning, wherever you get them from, but the accepted number is 15% of women occupy executive leadership roles and just 2% of seafarers are female.
