Equal at Sea
Charting a course towards an inclusive future
Transforming shipping with women on board
Maersk is committed to unlocking opportunities for women seafarers across the globe, and ensuring a safe work environment on-board.
Equal at Sea brings together policymakers and industry experts, working together to build a more inclusive shipping industry and enable more women to thrive in seafaring careers.

A Tribute from the Maersk Leadership Team
Women in the seafaring workforce today:
in the world
in India
Equal at Sea is about creating an ecosystem where men and women are treated equally, provided equitable opportunities and allowed to thrive in a just environment….for all the aspiring women seafarers- go for it! Live your dreams!
Together, we need to unearth taboos, bust the myths and recognise competence over opinion, inclusion over differentiation, and equality over biases. As an industry, I believe it is our collective responsibility to drive women's participation dedicatedly and sustainably.
Equal at Sea 2023
June 30th - Taj Santacruz, Mumbai
Industry leaders, policymakers, experts and people from the field will gather to identify key focus areas, and commit to taking actionable steps towards making seafaring both a viable and desirable career for women in India.
A day in the life of our women seafarers

Hear from our women on board
I am the luckiest girl that I am a part of Maersk. My life has totally changed since I joined.
If you want to bring a change, be the change!
I am privileged to be a seafarer. We get the best of everything.
Safety & security is something that is very important for every person. When I’m sailing with Maersk what I’ve felt is that I’m very safe and secure. Maersk has always kept that promise of keeping you safe.
