MARDIPLO’s Co-Founder and Managing Director, Dr Mary Papaschinopoulou, was honoured to speak and share her thoughts on Theano Kalapotharakou’s book and her body of work and contributions, as well as the vital role of women in shaping the future of the maritime industry.

The event featured inspiring speeches from leading women in the maritime sector, highlighting their experiences and contributions over the years.

At MARDIPLO, we are dedicated to maritime diplomacy, fostering strategic communication, industry collaboration, and soft-power influence across global shipping. Publications like this remind us that empowering women is not only a matter of equity — it is a driver of innovation, growth, and sustainable progress in our sector.

We extend our sincere thanks to Ms. Kalapotharakou and ELNAVI for the inspiring event and look forward to continuing our efforts to advance female leadership in the maritime industry.
