In celebration of International Day for Women in Maritime, Fleet Management is proud to share the stories of women whose determination and drive are helping to shape a more diverse and inclusive industry. This year’s theme, An Ocean of Opportunities for Women, highlights the growing possibilities for women across all areas of maritime, both at sea and ashore.
Fleet Management cadet, Anumol Raju, speaks about what inspired her to choose this path, what she values most about life on board, and the message she wants to pass on to other young women.
Anumol’s decision to pursue a career at sea came from many reasons – a deep love for the ocean, the chance to travel the world, and the opportunity to experience different cultures. She also hopes her journey can be a strong motivator for other young women to follow their dreams.
“A career at sea offers unique challenges but even more opportunities, and it gives a pretty good reward,”
For Anumol, the best part of life on board is the peace it brings.
“My favourite thing about working at sea is to see the aura of the sun when it touches the blue sea and the peace of mind it gives.”
To young women thinking about joining the maritime industry, Anumol shares a message of courage and confidence.
“To all the beautiful ladies out there. Stepping onto a male dominated job is not so easy. You must face many hurdles. On the way you may face difficulties, loneliness – but trust yourself. You can do that. You go girl!”
Fleet Management is proud to support cadets like Anumol as they build their careers with passion and purpose. We remain committed to shaping a maritime industry where women are equipped, empowered and inspired to thrive.
