IMPA CAST Season 4 Episode 5 - In Conversation With... Amilia Busby

Listen here - https://impablog.com/2026/02/11/impa-cast-season-4-episode-5-in-conversation-with-amilia-busby

An honest and open discussion from a young female seafarer’s perspective, who shares her journey and experiences.

Rebecca Bridgen speaks to Amilia Busby, 3rd Engineering Officer at Heidelberg Materials and Founder of ShipMates Network. They discuss what inspired her to pursue a career at sea and the challenges of being a female on board a vessel in a predominantly male orientated environment.

Amilia talks about the work she does to encourage young people to enter the Merchant Navy in her role as an Ambassador for the UK based Careers at Sea. Most recently Amilia has set up ‘ShipMates Network’ a new online community to bring seafarers together to build confidence, community, and career opportunities. With a goal to create an inclusive, accessible environment where every seafarer, feels welcomed.

'In Conversation with' is brought to you by IMPA CAST in collaboration with ShipMoney.
