qLiverpool Seafarers Centre is today wishing a very happy International Women’s Day to seafarers across the globe.
According to International Maritime Organization (IMO) figures, women represent two per cent of the world’s 1.2m seafarers, with 94 per cent of female seafarers are working in the cruise industry.
Seafarers provide a vital service, bringing essential goods to our shores, and have worked tirelessly during the pandemic. We thank women seafarers and all crews and recognise the valuable contribution women make within this very male-dominated industry this International Women’s Day.
