For the first time in history, the Women’s International Shipping and
Trading Association (WISTA) International Board will hold its mid-term meeting
in India. This landmark event underscores WISTA's dedication to fostering
diversity, inclusion, and leadership in the global maritime, trading, and
logistics sectors.
To commemorate this historic occasion, WISTA India is hosting its first WISTA
International EXCO Conference, titled "Navigating Change: The Future of
Sustainable Shipping," on 9th April 2024. This conference will explore the
maritime industry's critical challenges and opportunities, particularly in
driving environmental sustainability. Leaders, innovators, and professionals
from around the globe will come together to discuss cutting-edge strategies,
share insights, and collaborate on transforming maritime operations into
greener, more resilient systems.
Summiit Cheema Sharma, WISTA India President expressed her thoughts on the
event,stating:
"It is an honor and a privilege for WISTA India to be hosting its first
WISTA International ExCo mid-term conference in India. India is the ideal venue
for such an event, as the economy is swiftly transitioning to sustainable
shipping by using renewable energy, alternative fuels, and other technologies
to reduce emissions. India also plans to set up a Maritime Development Fund to
help manufacture green vessels and ports, said another government official.
India has undertaken green shipping under government policies such as the
National Biofuel Policy and Methanol Policy, so it is set to create a future
that is sustainable and facilitates global seaborne trade. I am excited and
look forward to welcoming our WISTA International ExCo Board Members, our
overseas guests, speakers, and participants from all over India. We anticipate
a memorable event, with rich insights, takeaways, and action plans for a
sustainable future in global shipping."
Elpi Petraki, President of WISTA International, emphasized the significance of
this event,stating:
"India is a vibrant hub for the maritime industry, and it is an honor for
the WISTA International Board to meet here for the first time. This visit
highlights the vital contributions of women in maritime and reaffirms our
dedication to advancing diversity and inclusion worldwide.
The conference serves as a platform to celebrate and amplify the pivotal role
women play in shaping the future of maritime sustainability, while also
charting a course for a more inclusive and greener industry.
