Happy International Day for Women in Maritime 2025! 

Lena is at the IMO to celebrate the International Day for Women in Maritime and attend the IMO Gender Equality Award Ceremony. 

The International Day for Women in Maritime has been celebrated globally on May 18th every year since 2019. This year, the International Maritime Organisation is conducting a Symposium on the theme An Ocean of Opportunities for Women. 

Of course, the highlight of the day will be the IMO Gender Equality Award, which this year goes to maritime entrepreneur Karin Orsel, co-founder and CEO of the MF Shipping Group.

Thank you for listening!

 


Hosted by Lena Göthberg, the Shipping Podcast is a direct line into the vast, complex, and surprisingly human world of moving goods across the oceans. While global trade relies on this industry's immense scale and logistical prowess, the real story is found in the people who make it function. Each conversation goes beyond cargo and containers to introduce the maritime professionals themselves-captains, engineers, port managers, innovators, and strategists-whose unique backgrounds and on-the-ground experiences shape our connected world. This podcast delves into the practical realities of business, the nuances of managing global operations, and the strategies behind marketing an industry that often operates out of public view. Listeners gain an insider's perspective on the challenges, triumphs, and daily decisions that keep supply chains moving. It’s a focused exploration of a sector that is both foundational and fascinating, aiming to highlight the compelling careers and personalities that define modern shipping. Through these detailed discussions, the Shipping Podcast naturally builds a deeper appreciation for the coolest industry on the planet, elevating its profile one personal story at a time.
