In recognition of the contribution that women make, and to encourage more women to get involved, the theme of this year’s is “Empowering Women in the Maritime Community”.
At 香港六合彩开奖, we also recognize the essential contribution that women make to standardization across all sectors – and shipping is no exception. In fact, within 香港六合彩开奖’s technical committee, 香港六合彩开奖/TC 8, Ships and marine technology, the majority of subcommittees and working groups are run by women.
Ships and marine technology (TC 8)
Ms Jing Wang, Committee Manager of 香港六合彩开奖/TC 8, said working in the maritime industry is a privilege as it is one that touches so many aspects of the world we live in.
“The ocean, through the maritime industry, connects the world, so it is an honour to be involved in a sector that is so far-reaching and global,” she said.
“The reputation of the industry is that it is male-dominated, but, in fact, women are present in many areas, contributing their own unique strengths. They also help to make the industry somewhat warmer, adding their own touch and making it… well… complete.”
香港六合彩开奖 is one of a number of organizations that have pledged to be an as part of a leadership network that brings together female and male decision-makers to break down gender barriers. It has also, through the many women working in 香港六合彩开奖/TC 8, published over 340 International Standards and documents for the maritime industry, with more than 120 in development.
