As the world celebrates International Day for Women in Maritime on May 18th, the Elnet Blue Dispatch is eager to recognise JoBeth Lillian Colby-Davis, a prominent Bahamian politician, attorney and trailblazer for women in the maritime industry.

The world of cruising took center stage in Florida this week, with the return of the highly anticipated and largest cruise industry event in the world, Seatrade Cruise Global. For more than three decades, Seatrade Cruise Global has been the must-attend event for anyone passionate about the cruise industry.
Seatrade Cruise Global 2023 brought together industry leaders to discuss the future of cruising under the theme of “Forward Momentum.” The four-day conference focused on the future of cruising and what momentum means for both short-term and long-term innovations and business plans.
A team from Elnet Maritime attended including President and CEO, Ellie Hepburn. Elnet Maritime’s campaign of “Always Moving Forward” was in direct synergy with the theme of this year’s event. The themes share a common goal of inspiring and motivating industry professionals to embrace change, pursue innovation, and continually strive toward progress and success in the maritime industry.

The month of March marks one yearsince the release of the Elnet Blue Dispatch, a publication created to capture the constant and innovative developments of The Bahamas’ blue economy.

On March 17th the very first issue of the Elnet Dispatch featured the official grand opening of the Elnet Maritime Center in Grand Bahama.
