TOP WOMEN IN MARITIME AWARDS
As the maritime industry continues to diversify and to attract more women, it’s essential to acknowledge, honor, and celebrate the women leading the way.

Each year, the Marine Log editorial team carefully selects the 20 Top Women in Maritime, representing diverse backgrounds, ages, and locations. These women are chosen based on nominations from our readers, and we invite them to share their proudest achievements in their maritime careers—be it in shoreside management, onboard a vessel, or in another field.

For the past five years, we have shared their incredible industry contributions in the magazine, published interviews with each woman on the website, and shared many of their comments through video interviews.

This year, our Top Women in Maritime Celebration moves to a larger event space. We anticipate a record-number of attendees coming together to celebrate these groundbreaking women in person and finding inspiration in their stories.
