Shipping Ministry Ensigns All-Women Crew On MT Swarna Krishna
Commemorating the International Women's Day, Union Shipping Minister Mansukh Mandaviya virtually ensigned an all-women crew aboard Shipping Corporation of India (SCI)'s craft - MT Swarna Krishna. The unparalleled venture by all means became a landmark event as it became the first-ever all-women voyage in world nautical history. Notably, the Shipping Ministry's backing to the sail is an ode to the women seafarers for defying stereotypes in the habitually male-dominated maritime sector.
