“ITF and ICS played an essential co-ordinating role during the pandemic. Together, we led engagement with governments and international organisations to mitigate the impact of the crisis on the world's 1.2 million seafarers who worked through severe travel restrictions that often hindered their ability to get home.”

“ICS is leading the way in promoting equal opportunities irrespective of gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, nationality, disability, age, sexual orientation, or religion, and continues to encourage women to join our industry. It takes the lead in celebrating and showcasing the variety of roles women already fulfil in the maritime sector, from cadet to CEO.”
