CMA CGM has recorded major
leap in gender diversity at sea, with the number of women serving aboard its
vessels more than doubling within a year under the Group’s She Sails initiative.
Since
the programme was launched in December 2024, the tally of women seafarers has
climbed from about 200 to 403 by the close of 2025, marking growth of over 100%
in just twelve months. Encouraged by this momentum, the French shipping major
has now set an ambitious target of deploying 1,000 women at sea by 2030.
The She Sails initiative
aims to attract more women into maritime professions, highlight the breadth of
career opportunities available across the CMA CGM Group, and provide guidance
and encouragement to young women considering life at sea. A key element of the
programme is creating platforms for women seafarers to share experiences,
helping to inspire and support future entrants to the industry.
