About the event:

Trinity House and the Women's International Shipping and Trading Association (WISTA) have collaborated to celebrate International Women in Maritime Day, with a seminar and reception at Trinity House 1800 - 2100 on 13 May 2025.

The theme is an Ocean of Opportunities and we have a panel of leaders and future leaders from across the industry to offer their thoughts on the theme. We are grateful to Trinity House for hosting the event, and the Oil Company's International Maritime Forum (OCIMF) for their sponsorship.

There will be an hour of open session for the delegates to widen the discussion, with Sue Terpilowski, Chair of WISTA International's Diversity Committee facilitating the event.

Following the seminar there will be a reception. The event ends at 2100. 


Panel:

Sarah Kenny               Chief Executive BMT, former chair Maritime UK
Lacey Griffin            Former Trinity House cadet, marine superintendent at Trinity House
Rachel Noronha        Head of Shipping Policy, International Chamber of Shipping
Monica Kohli               President WISTA UK,  Senior lawyer GARD UK 
Darrell Bate                 Director of Maritime Training and Development, Marine Society and Sea Cadets.

This will be the third event by Trinity House and WISTA and we look forward to a stimulating and inspirational discussion.
