The work in the maritime sector extends beyond ports: you discover the world and truly build a better future.
Maria has traveled extensively for her work, to countries such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Mauritius. “Traveling is always a great opportunity to spend time talking to clients and better understand their needs, but you also get to know more about the country and the local culture—that's what makes it so much fun.”
Maria's team has worked on several projects, such as developing a financial model and providing tender support for a multi-terminal transaction, conducting a feasibility study for a marina in Wales and assessing its potential impact on the local community, and performing financial modeling and cost-benefit analyses to assess the feasibility of implementing onshore power in ports. This would help reduce fossil fuel emissions from vessels while they are at berth.
Looking forward, Maria is excited about energy transition projects. "This is a major challenge for the industry, and our team has been increasingly involved in this area. I am happy to be able to contribute to projects that could lead to wider positive environmental or social outcomes.
"We're a close-knit team," says Maria. “We challenge each other, celebrate successes, and always make time for fun, no matter where we are in the world. Our work combines rigorous analysis and reporting with a client-centric approach, where we build strong relationships and collaborate closely with our clients. That combination, along with the supportive working atmosphere and healthy work-life balance, makes our work truly special.”
Forget the stereotypes. Beyond the ships and docks, the maritime sector is brimming with unexpected opportunities for women to excel, lead, and shape the future of a global industry. It's a dynamic and challenging sector with a global impact, where economists like Maria play an important role.
