About this listen

Women in Maritime is a new podcast series celebrating the women who are shaping, steering, and sometimes shaking up one of the world’s most traditionally male-dominated industries. Hosted by Julia Gosling of Ahoy Communications Ltd, each episode features an open, honest conversation with women from across the maritime world - from ports to policy, from bridge to boardroom and fishing vessels to superyachts.

This is not just a celebration of success. It’s a real look at the journeys behind it and the lessons learned, the failures that built resilience, and the moments that made a difference. Whether you’re a captain, a harbour master, a naval architect, a policy leader or a seafarer, your story could inspire others to follow in your wake.

Hosted by Julia Gosling, Ahoy Communications

  • Nitzeira Watson Stewart on Maritime Law, Leadership & Breaking Barriers

    Nitzeira Watson Stewart on Maritime Law, Leadership & Breaking Barriers
    Jan 31 2026

    My first guest is Nitzeira Watson Stewart, legal representative of The Nautical Institute – Panama, and a recognised Top 100 Woman in Shipping.

    In this open, honest conversation, Nitzeira shares the real story behind her rise in a male-dominated industry: the doors that were closed in her own country, the international path she carved instead, the sacrifice of leaving to study with a newborn at home, and the relentless drive that helped her build credibility and leadership on her own terms.

    In this conversation you’ll hear about:
    How Nitzeira entered maritime and why she refused to quit
    Maritime law, leadership and the professional reality of “proving yourself”
    Age bias and gender bias in the maritime workplace
    Building a global career without the “right contacts”
    The personal cost of ambition, and the role of support systems
    The community work she’s doing to lift other women up
