Recently, a group of talented women from various departments across BLRT REPAIR YARDS in Tallinn and its partner companies had the unique opportunity to explore life onboard the Amazoneborg, a vessel owned by Royal Wagenborg, a leading multi-purpose shipping company and the yard`s long-term partner.

This enthusiastic group, representing roles such as dispatchers, assistants to directors, estimators, technologists, office managers, ISM managers, safety | quality managers and financial controllers, had a rare opportunity to experience life at sea.

The visit allowed them to step outside their regular roles and immerse themselves in the day-to-day workings of the vessel and its crew. During the tour, Jan-Willem Ploeg, Superintendent at Royal Wagenborg, and Denis Karakin, Project Manager at BLRT REPAIR YARDS in Tallinn, personally guided the group, showcasing the vessel’s key operational areas, from the engine room to the navigation systems

The visit gave our ladies a deeper understanding of how their shore-based work directly impacts the success and safety of the vessels at sea, while also highlighting the growing presence and influence of women in roles traditionally dominated by men. Experiences like this encourage other women to explore and consider pursuing careers at sea or within the shipyard.
