First female master takes the helm

Louise Angel (29) has made history, becoming the first woman to take command of a Safmarine vessel. She is also the youngest master in the Safmarine fleet. Married and based in Durban, she will take command of the Safmarine Ngami – a 2474 teu containership deployed on the South Africa/North America (AMEX) trade – later this month. Earlier this year, she also became the first female officer to take delivery of a new Safmarine containership – the very ship of which she will now take command.
