In a predominantly male-dominated industry, women are steadily making their mark

To encourage further inclusion, Breakbulk Europe brings together women from different sectors to share their perspectives on building a successful career in the maritime, project cargo and breakbulk industry.

Women in the industry offer insightful tips and advice for women from all sectors on how they too can climb the ranks and change the narrative on an industry that is progressing in the right direction.
