IMO's International Day for Women in Maritime 2025

An Ocean of Opportunities for Women

Celebrating the International Day for Women in Maritime

The maritime industry is evolving — and women are steering that transformation. On this International Day for Women in Maritime, we honor the strength, skill, and resilience of women who are navigating new horizons and shaping a more inclusive future at sea.

At the Norwegian Training Center, we proudly recognize our own trailblazers, including 2nd Officer Maribel Singian, a dedicated NSA Batch 22 alumna. Her journey as a Filipina seafarer is a shining example of what’s possible when determination meets opportunity.

In this special feature, Maribel shares her inspiring story — from her early days as a cadet to rising through the ranks in a traditionally male-dominated field. Her voice adds to the growing chorus of women proving that the ocean holds boundless potential for those who dare to lead.

Maribel's experience is more than personal — it's a message to women everywhere: the maritime world is full of promise. With access to training, mentorship, and equal opportunity, we can continue to open an ocean of opportunities for women across the globe.

Together, let’s celebrate their achievements, break down barriers, and empower the next generation to sail beyond limits. Kindly watch her short message at this link -
