Through qualitative interviews, this study aims to understand the unique challenges and opportunities women face at sea. Key themes identified include workplace discrimination, gender dynamics, work-life balance, and career progression. The findings highlight the significant barriers to entry and advancement that women encounter, such as limited mentorship opportunities and systemic biases. Despite these challenges, many women express job satisfaction due to the adventurous nature of seafaring and the sense of community. The study also underscores the importance of supportive networks and policies that promote gender equality on board ships. The insights gained from this research provide valuable implications for industry stakeholders to enhance the work environment for women seafarers, fostering greater diversity and inclusion. Recommendations for future research include longitudinal studies to track changes over time and the examination of specific interventions aimed at improving conditions for women in maritime roles
