Opportunities for Females in the Shipping Company

Can you tell me about the opportunities for females in the shipping company with Electronics and Communication Engineering background in India?

[Kiran Chandar]

There are ample opportunities for females in the shipping company with Electronics and Communication Engineering background in India as the Indian government is making ways to encourage women to become sailors through benefits such as a 50% discount on fees and a two-year relaxation on age limit which resulted in more women joining maritime courses.

Women not just working onboard but in sectors such as port and logistics, too, are attracting women. Sitara Shipping, Sai Maritime and AS Moloobhoy & Sons are some companies that have seen increased participation of women in management activities.

Companies like SCI, Great Eastern and All cargo Logistics recruit women officers for various management jobs.
