The partnership was announced on International Women's Day Wednesday by Ponant president and co-founder Jean Emmanuel Sauvée.
For a number of years, as part of its corporate social responsibility policy, Ponant has been working to promote women’s rights with its Femmes à la barre (Women at the helm) program, which seeks to encourage a gender balance among its crew.
The line also works with the French shipowners association, Armateurs de France, and the National Maritime Academy to honor female officers.
