Petrobras launches first vessel with all-female crew

Petrobras has launched its first vessel operated by an entirely female crew, marking a significant shift in the historically male-dominated maritime and energy sectors. The initiative highlights the increasing presence of women in technical, engineering, and operational roles within the industry.

Related efforts to improve gender diversity are visible at Transpetro, where women currently comprise 15% of the workforce. To address this imbalance, the company has set progressive goals to increase female representation in leadership positions by 2030. Strategies include developing female leadership programs, establishing partnerships with universities and technical centers to encourage women to enter the field, and implementing gender parity mechanisms in public recruitment processes.
