In the modern world, the role of women in the maritime economy is becoming increasingly important. Most women acquire jobs in the organization of sea transport, cargo handling, warehousing, accounting, insurance, and marketing, while fewer women are employed on ships as sailors. The maritime transport sector has been dominated by men for years, not only in positions related to work at sea but also in management positions. Maritime economy entities are taking action to equalize the opportunities for women in relation to employment in managerial positions. This article aims to identify and assess the role of women in the maritime economy based on the employment structure as part of equalizing career development opportunities. The research utilizes a literature review and a desk research method. A statistical procedure and a comparative analysis are also used. The research results constitute interesting cognitive material not only for sea carriers but also for organizations associated with women employed in the maritime economy.
