About Women In Maritime

Women in Maritime is a new podcast series celebrating the women who are shaping, steering, and sometimes shaking up one of the world’s most traditionally male-dominated industries. Hosted by Julia Gosling of Ahoy Communications Ltd, each episode features an open, honest conversation with women from across the maritime world - from ports to policy, from bridge to boardroom and fishing vessels to superyachts.This is not just a celebration of success. It’s a real look at the journeys behind it and the lessons learned, the failures that built resilience, and the moments that made a difference. Whether you’re a captain, a harbour master, a naval architect, a policy leader or a seafarer, your story could inspire others to follow in your wake.Hosted by Julia Gosling, Ahoy CommunicationsWomen In Maritime is produced and published by Yachting International Radio

Monica Kohli OBE on Women at Sea, Maritime Law & Leadership

There are still fewer than 2% of women working at sea. So what does leadership in maritime really look like today? In this episode of Women In Maritime, Julia Gosling speaks with Monica Kohli OBE, Senior Lawyer at Gard (U.K.), President of WISTA U.K., and Trustee of The Seafarers’ Charity, about visibility, credibility and reshaping opportunity in shipping. Monica spent her early childhood living aboard her father’s cargo ship, which shaped her lifelong connection to the sea. She later built a distinguished career in maritime law and leadership across the global shipping sector. In this conversation, she reflects on never seeing a female seafarer as a child, navigating professional spaces where women were rarely expected to lead, and why diversity in maritime is not just about fairness - it is about performance and long-term industry resilience. In this conversation you’ll hear about: * Growing up connected to life at sea * Why the 2% figure for women at sea still matters * Casual sexism and professional credibility in shipping * The commercial case for diversity in maritime leadership * WISTA U.K.’s work funding female cadets * Leadership responsibility and visibility in senior roles * Receiving an OBE and what recognition means for the sector This is a candid discussion about confidence, networks, representation and what still needs to change across the global maritime workforce. 🎙️ Host Julia Gosling Maritime communications specialist and former UK Coastguard communications officer, with nearly two decades of experience supporting operational maritime safety, leadership communications and sector-wide engagement across the UK and international maritime community. 🎤 Guest Monica Kohli OBE Senior Lawyer, Gard (U.K.) President, WISTA U.K. Trustee, The Seafarers’ Charity Maritime Skills Commissioner WISTA International: wistainternational.com [http://wistainternational.com] WISTA U.K.: wista-uk.net [http://wista-uk.net] Indian Maritime Association (UK): imauk.org.uk [http://imauk.org.uk] Monica is a long-standing advocate for diversity and professional development across the global maritime sector, working to increase visibility and access for women at sea and ashore.

In this open, honest conversation, Nitzeira shares the real story behind her rise in a male-dominated industry: the doors that were closed in her own country, the international path she carved instead, the sacrifice of leaving to study with a newborn at home, and the relentless drive that helped her build credibility and leadership on her own terms. In this conversation you’ll hear about: How Nitzeira entered maritime and why she refused to quit Maritime law, leadership and the professional reality of “proving yourself” Age bias and gender bias in the maritime workplace Building a global career without the “right contacts” The personal cost of ambition, and the role of support systems The community work she’s doing to lift other women up

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
