Background<\/h2>\n

Women are often underrepresented in the maritime world. This limits their career opportunities and reduces the potential for growth and innovation in these areas. The Women on Board<\/strong> project was therefore launched to promote and advance equal opportunities for women in sectors such as shipping, port operations, fisheries and maritime energy. <\/p>\n
