The Women's International Shipping & Trading Association (WISTA) continues to grow worldwide, welcoming Portugal to the global network of executive women in shipping.

The launch of WISTA Portugal was announced this week by Ana Paula Vitorino, Portugal's Minister of the Sea at Portugal Shipping. WISTA Portugal joins 44 other National WISTA Associations (NWAs).

"WISTA International has had a strong relationship with Portugal's women in shipping," said WISTA International President Despina Panayiotou Theodosiou.
