• Launched one year ago, the She sails program has enabled CMA CGM to double the number of women seafarers within its fleet, rising from 200 to 403.
• The Group is raising its ambitions and now aims to have 1,000 women at sea by the end of 2030.
• CMA CGM reaffirms its long-term commitment to gender diversity, continuing to support maritime careers for women and helping to transform the face of the merchant navy.
She sails, CMA CGM’s internal program designed to accelerate the presence of women in maritime careers, is celebrating its first anniversary. One year after its launch in December 2024, the program, which seeks to significantly increase the number of women on board CMA CGM vessels, has successfully doubled the number of female seafarers.
Building on this momentum, the Group has now set a target of 1,000 women at sea by 2030, while promoting the wide range of roles and opportunities offered by an international company such as CMA CGM. The program also highlights the importance of sharing experiences among women seafarers and serves as a powerful lever to inspire younger generations to pursue careers at sea.
Within just one year, She sails has enabled the Group to double the number of its women seafarers, from 200 in 2024 to 403 by the end of 2025, an increase of more than 100%.
Christine Cabau Woehrel, the Group’s Executive Vice President in charge of Operations and Assets, said: “In just one year, our program has proven its effectiveness: the results exceed our expectations. More women are accessing key positions, their career paths are accelerating, their confidence is growing, and our teams are gaining in both diversity and performance. These achievements are a source of pride, but above all a responsibility: to continue our efforts, to go further, and to make equal opportunities a lasting reality across all our teams.” (....)
