Dear Team,

As we celebrate International Women’s Day today, I want to take a moment to recognize and honor the incredible women who contribute their talents, skills, and passion to the Ghana Maritime Authority (GMA), the maritime sector in Ghana, and globally.

This year’s theme, “Accelerate Action”, calls on us to accelerate progress towards gender equality and women’s empowerment. It is a reminder that achieving an inclusive and equitable maritime sector requires collective commitment and decisive steps.

Your dedication and hard work are vital to the progress and development of our industry. Each one of you plays a crucial role in shaping the future of the maritime sector in our country, breaking barriers, and inspiring others with your commitment and excellence. Whether you are at the forefront of operations, navigating regulatory frameworks, or providing vital support behind the scenes, your contributions do not go unnoticed.

Today, we celebrate not only your achievements but also the spirit of resilience and empowerment that you embody. I encourage you to support one another, uplift your voices, and strive for greater representation and equality in all spheres of life.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment and invaluable contributions to the maritime sector. Together, you can continue to pave the way for future generations of women in maritime.

Wishing you all a happy International Women’s Day!

Warm regards,

Dr. Kamal-Deen Ali
Director General
Ghana Maritime Authority
