WISTA gets technical in Copenhagen
The World Maritime Technology Conference took place in Copenhagen from April 26th to April 28th 2022 (It should have taken place last year but the pandemic put things on hold).
During the event five members of WISTA (Women's International Shipping and Trading Association) Technology and Futures Committee were in the audience and taking part in sessions. I cornered them for 20 minutes to talk about where WISTA stands today and the difference it is, and can make.
Around the table are:
Federica Maiorano (WISTA Monaco) SpotShip
Sofia Fürstenberg Stott (WISTA Sweden) Fürstenberg Maritime Advisory
Beverley Mackenzie (WISTA UK) BIMCO
Jocelyn Hansen (WISTA Denmark) Searoutes
Katia Corfini (WISTA Italy) Goversilia
