In June this year, we visited Leghorn, an oil, container and passenger ship port. This was a major decision of our board. But each country has its own national body, with its own board and agm. Fulvia has strong views on how the role of women in shipping has changed over the last decade. The opposite sex is an ally, not an enemy.
Women have enough battles to fight without taking on the male species as well.
A lot of work has already been done on account of the next generation of women in shipping. I believe their future will be easier because the path has now been paved. Women have to fight much more, make many more sacrifices than men, to achieve their goals, especially if they are trying to raise a family at the same time as developing a career. Our ability to juggle several projects and lifestyles at the same time makes us a workforce with terrific flexibility. Women adapt easily in difficult situations.
