International Women in Maritime Day event in May
OCIMF is sponsoring, for the second year running, the International Women in Maritime Day seminar and reception on Tuesday 14 May 2024. The event is being co-hosted jointly with Trinity House and the Women’s International Shipping and Trading Association (WISTA).
The IMO International Day for Women in Maritime is observed on 18 May every year.
The day celebrates women in the industry and is intended to promote the recruitment, retention and sustained employment of women in the maritime sector, raise the profile of women in maritime, strengthen IMO’s commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5 (gender equality) and support work to address the current gender imbalance in maritime.
IMO Member States, the maritime industry, and all others in the maritime endeavour are invited to promote and celebrate the International Day for Women in Maritime in an appropriate and meaningful manner.

See all details about previous International Day for Women in Maritime here.
The theme for this year’s event is allyship. The event will run from 6pm to 9pm (doors open at 5.30pm), with a panel discussing the theme, followed by a plenary and reception. This event is a wonderful opportunity to consider how to attract the best talent into the industry, optimise the talents of colleagues and support a gender diverse workforce in maritime. Natalie Gull, Director of People and Culture, Trinity House, will set the scene followed by key points from the panel. The discussion will then be opened to the floor for attendees’ contribution.
