Each month until October, TradeWinds will publish a profile of a finalist in our Guiding Stars series, a project highlighting the people making change in shipping. Our second Guiding Stars finalist is Scarlett Barnett-Smith, working deck officer and founder of The Scarlett Box. Her company has developed boxes with emergency period products for women working onboard ships, but The Scarlett Box has a wider mission to make shipping more inclusive of women to help attract and retain female talent.
TradeWinds' 10 Guiding Stars finalists have been nominated by our readers and editorial team. These are people who are innovating and creating real, tangible change in shipping and tackling some of its biggest issues.
Later this year, we will ask you to vote on who will receive our TradeWinds Guiding Star award for 2026, which will be announced in November.
