Tug operator Svitzer has hailed a milestone in Latin America by introducing its first all-female crew.
The move in the Dominican Republic is part of its gender inclusion strategy.
The crew is operating the 70-ton Svitzer Monte Cristi in Rio Haina and Caucedo.
"Many things that we presume to be done through physical force, in reality, only require technical intelligence and the right tools," said chief engineer Marysabel Moreno.
