The WISTA International AGM and Conference took place last week, which was a celebration of WISTA's 50th anniversary. Members and presidents from WISTA associations worldwide attended the conference, which was all made possible by the warm welcome of WISTA Cyprus and its President Natalia Bury Loyal. We heard from high-calibre speakers the First Lady of Cyprus Philippa Karsera, President of the Republic of Cyprus Nikos Christodoulides, the Shipping Deputy Minister of Cyprus Marina Hadjimanolis, and the International Maritime Organization Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez. During the conference, a roundtable discussion between national WISTA associations was held, followed by the AGM which introduced new members to NWA (now a total of 62 nations) and an awards ceremony where WISTA UK received a certificate of appreciation for its dedication to WISTA's mission for 50 years. The conference was followed by an exceptional gala dinner with WISTA's incredible global community in a beautiful setting. Thanks to Teresa Peacock for representing WISTA UK, and to all those who made this an unforgettable experience. 🙏 #WISTAInternational #WISTAUK50Years #WomeninShipping

WISTA UK joined the 119th Annual National Service for Seafarers at St Paul's Cathedral in London, which highlights the dedication and resilience of seafarers and those who support them across the maritime sector.   The service was well attended and made even more special by the presence of HRH Princess Royal who read the 'Good Samaritan' (Luke 10: 25-37), providing a timely and poignant reminder of the selfless contributions seafarers make to keeping global trade flowing smoothly.   Jucilla Walters MSc, BA Hons represented WISTA U.K. by reading a prayer for the King and Commonwealth during the ceremony. Other readings attributed to 200 years of the RNLI and 50 years of WISTA UK. We feel honoured to be part of celebrating the brave women at sea and across the maritime industry.   #Seafarers #FemaleSeafarers #MaritimeCommunity
