Networks

One of the aims of the Women at Sea networks is to connect women. Speaking to others who already work at sea, supporting each other, sharing resources and access to advice. We want to work together to make the maritime industry a better place for women. 

There are already a number of existing networks for women seafarers. Some are regional, some are aimed at specific areas of the maritime industry. These networks provide support and advice, promote events and are a good source of information. 

Below is a list of articles and links to organisations that showcase women working at sea and networks that we hope will help to build the female workforce in maritime. 

If you know of other networks that you would like us to add, please send us an email at: womenatsea@itf.org.uk
