🚢 Why are vessels referred to as “She”? 🚢 In the maritime world, boats are often referred to as “she”, a tradition deeply rooted in nautical history. Sailors, who spend long periods at sea, often develop strong emotional connections with their vessels. By calling their boats “she,” they attribute qualities like beauty, grace, and strength, similar to those they admire in women. 🌊 This tradition dates back to ancient times when ships were seen as lifelines, offering safety, protection, and the means to explore new horizons. Referring to boats as female was a way for sailors to express their deep respect and affection for their vessels, much like the admiration they hold for the important women in their lives. ⚓ At MH Bland, we are proud to honour these maritime traditions while providing modern, reliable services, ensuring every vessel is cared for with the same respect, attention to detail, and dedication it has earned through the centuries. 🙌 👉 Learn more about our maritime services at https://bit.ly/3y9Wn4f #MaritimeTraditions #NauticalHistory #DidYouKnow #Seafaring #MHBland

Great article which highlights the importance of promoting gender equality in the maritime industry and encouraging women to pursue careers in piloting. We need to continue working on breaking down barriers and stereotypes that may discourage women from entering this field, and encourage MS to actively promote STEM education and mentorship programs to attract young women to the maritime careers!
Meet Clare Holmes, a remarkable Maritime Pilot based in Southampton who is breaking barriers and paving the way for other women in her field. Her inspiring story is the latest addition to our ongoing series on female Maritime Pilots. https://lnkd.in/ejq6Sf-t WISTA International Maritime SheEO Jillian Carson-Jackson Lena Göthberg Seatrade Maritime Splash Maritime and Offshore News (splash247.com) Lloyd's List

The ship’s new role as a diving and fishing attraction could generate millions of dollars annually for the local tourism industry. Scuba shops, charter boats, hotels, and other businesses are likely to see a surge in visitors eager to explore the historic liner in its underwater home. Beyond its economic potential, the ship’s conversion into a reef will create a haven for marine life. Artificial reefs provide shelter and breeding grounds for a variety of species, boosting biodiversity and improving the overall health of marine ecosystems. Once submerged, the ship will be contributing to the area’s existing network of more than 500 artificial reefs. https://lnkd.in/gxxVaY2E

How ships are evolved with the time and technology and the determination of the trade leaders on WW.
🎉 Celebrating 77 Years of Maritime Heritage! 🚢 Today marks a special milestone in maritime history. It has been 77 years since the launch of our first M/V General Guisan vessel, named in honor of General Henri Guisan, a distinguished General from Switzerland. We are thrilled to share a video capturing the vessel's launch ceremony back in 1947, which was graced by General Guisan's wife. This momentous occasion not only reminds us of the rich history and progress we've made but also inspires us to continue striving for excellence in maritime operations. Today, we proudly continue to sail on a M/V General Guisan vessel, the sixth one built, carrying forward the legacy and dedication in the shipping industry. A heartfelt thank you to all the pioneers, engineers, and crew members who have contributed to the legacy of the M/V General Guisan. They hard work and passion have left an indelible mark on our maritime world. Here’s to many more years of sailing towards new horizons! 🌊⚓ #MaritimeHistory #Anniversary #GeneralGuisan #ShippingIndustry #Innovation #Heritage #Switzerland For the long version video go to our youtube channel here: https://lnkd.in/eMwn6MYc

Following the debut of the lead ship, Icon of the Sea, in December 2023, the keel for the second Icon-class cruise ship, Star of the Sea, was laid the same month. The steel-cutting ceremony on January 12th marked the start of construction for the third vessel in the series. The Royal Caribbean Group inked a shipbuilding contract for three of these groundbreaking cruise ships with the Finnish shipyard Meyer Turku. The second ship, at yard number NB1401, is set for delivery in 2025, while the third is scheduled for delivery in 2026. With a tonnage of 250,800 GT each, these ships will accommodate up to 5,610 passengers, embodying Royal Caribbean and Meyer Turku's commitment to environmental sustainability in the maritime industry. The Icon-class cruise ships will boast an eco-friendly LNG propulsion system, contributing significantly to emissions reduction. #royalcaribbean #meyerturku #iconoftheseas #starofthesea #cruiseship #iconclasscruise #lngpropulsionsystem #finnishshipyard #finland

50 years ago, the SOLAS (International Convention for the Safety Of Life At Sea) Treaty revolutionized maritime safety, setting a global standard that has significantly minimized disasters at sea. This year’s theme for #WorldMaritimeDay is 'Navigating the Future: Safety First', and calls on us to uphold and evolve these crucial standards in the face of new maritime challenges. Seafair is also dedicated to advancing safety and leading the way toward a safer future in shipping. 💙 A heartfelt thank you to SOLAS for guiding us toward a safer maritime future. 🚢⚓ #navigatingthefuture #safetyfirst #shippingindustry #maritimeindustry #seafarersafety #maritimesafety
