Being a seafarer currently ashore (9 years but the heart still wants to return to sea some day!), I’m really keen on how autonomous shipping can enable female seafarers to continue to work later into pregnancy, breastfeed or encourage women who do not want to be at sea for long periods to be able to not be tied to short-sea shipping necessarily. Also, any industry that there are new roles emerging, especially in STEM subjects, I see as an opportunity to engage women and continue to chip away at the gender-imbalance without some of the stigma attached to ‘maritime being a male industry’ that we can see.
