MSF promotes opportunities for female seafarers

Over 700 Myanmar female seafarers have been working on cruise ships worldwide since the year 2000, with about 60 more Myanmar women ready to serve, according to the Myanmar Seafarers Federation (MSF).
Myanmar women are employed as hotel staff on large cruise ships, and some female maritime staff have attended maritime courses offered by the Department of Maritime Administration to work with a sailor’s passport.
MSF conducted a seminar for female seafarers at its office in Kyauktada Township, Yangon, at the beginning of June. — ASH/MKKS
