International Day for Women in Maritime

Dear Ladies,

On the occasion of the International Day for Women in Maritime, I would like to express my appreciation to all women studying and working at Gdynia Maritime University, and extend my warmest wishes for every success.

I thank you for your daily contribution to the development of science and academia, education, and the blue economy. It is thanks to your commitment that the maritime industry is becoming more modern, open, and dynamic. The contribution of women on board ships and in academia today is an integral part of the development of the maritime sector worldwide.

For many years, Gdynia Maritime University has supported the idea of equal access to education, professional development and scientific activity. We are pleased to see that more and more women are choosing to pursue fields connected with the blue economy, logistics, navigation, computer science, and engineering – helping to shape the future of modern maritime education.

I wish you much professional and academic success, satisfaction from your completed challenges, the fulfilment of your dreams, and continued inspiration for further action.

Professor Adam Weintrit
Rector of Gdynia Maritime University
