Who says there are no female Officers on big ships?

It was looking to be an usual day of making ship visits in the Container Terminals on 22 Mar 2024. Then we met a female officer (2nd Mate) aboard a big container ship!



Don't underestimate her resolve! She has almost 10 years of sea-time under her belt and she aspires to be the Captain of a ship one day. I asked if it was difficult for her to manage a predominantly make crew, She said her male crew actually takes care of her! That's fantastic!


It was our last ship visited for the day and we are so glad to have had the opportunity to pray for her and the well-being of the ship and crew!
