Chairman, the Seaport Terminal Operators Association of Nigeria (STOAN), Princess Vicky Haastrup, has bemoaned the less than two per cent

of women workforce in the country’s maritime industry.

She listed women’s underrepresentation, discrimination and lower pay, among other challenges, as some of the threats to gender equality in the maritime industry. The STOAN chairman said IMO’s gender programme, which provides gender-specific fellowships to women, promotes policies that ensure equity, and safe and decent working conditions for all who work in the sector.
