About the Arab Women in Maritime Association

For centuries, the maritime industry has been a recognised place in society dominated solely by men, and even though there were women involved, they were mostly on the periphery. AWiMA aims to fill the gap of women’s career development in the maritime workplace.

Day of the Seafarer - 25 June -

Seafarers – Your voyage - then and now, share your journey

Every seafarer’s journey is different, but they all face similar challenges.

For 2022, the campaign of the Day of the Seafarers, with the theme 'Your voyage - then and now, share your journey’, look at seafarer voyages, what it includes and how has it evolved over time and what remains at the heart of seafarers’ reality.

This campaign gives seafarers a chance to share what resonates with them currently, whether it's the crew change crisis being unresolved or the future of technology.
