Maersk pushes to put more women on ships aiming equal cadets by 2027

One obstacle is crews untrained for women onboard

Maersk’s Niels Bruus says the toughest barrier to increasing women at sea is the mindset of men onboard, many of whom are not used to working with women on ships. The company plans to shift attitudes through training and hiring, targeting an equal split between women and men in cadet intake from India by 2027.
