Maersk hires two Saudi women

MARITIME SERVICE: Two Saudi woman, Sara Samargandi and Mona Al-Malki, have made a little bit of Maersk Line history by becoming the first Saudi women to be employed by A. P. Moller-Maersk 's shipping agent in Saudi Arabia.

"This is a milestone for the organization and a demonstration of its diversity commitments. The company is keen to hire and develop local talents and there is plenty of untapped potential since women in Saudi Arabia are qualified, willing and able to work", a company spokesman told Arab News.

Sunil Joseph, MD of Mercantile Shipping Agencies Ltd., considers these appointments as a reflection of Maersk Line's commitment to providing equal opportunities for women.

"This achievement gains more importance considering the relatively lower participation of women in the workplace in Saudi Arabia", Sunil Joseph added.

Joseph was one of the speakers at the recent Saudi-Transtec conference in Dammam.

Maersk vessels called at Saudi ports 350 times in 2009. There are at least 450 calls scheduled for 2010, clearly illustrating the strategic value that Maersk has for the Saudi market and its economic development.
