Photos Of The Week: Meet Kenya’s First Female Marine Pilot At Only 25Yrs

She is a combination of beauty and brains. At the age of 25, Elizabeth Marami will become Kenya’s first Female marine pilot.

This is after successfully completing five years of intensive training at the prestigious marine training college in Alexandria, Egypt. She has a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Nautical science

“I am determined to be one of the best mariners around. I love seafaring and have never looked back since I got enlisted as a marine pilot cadet,” she tells The Standard.

Now in her fourth and final month on board as she acquaints herself with tugboat operations, Marami’s next phase of on-the-job training before her final evaluation to be awarded a license will see her work with a qualified pilot to board vessels leaving or entering port.

“I am on a tugboat to help myself understand better the relationship between a tug master and a pilot as the two are very instrumental in ship movement in and out of the port,” she explains.

“The daughter of Mombasa paediatrician Aggrey Marami and school principal Veronica Marami, is described by colleagues at work as a go-getter, strong willed, confident and neat,” reads The Standard

The 25 year old will become Kenya’s first fully trained female marine pilot, after she  she berths and un-berths 500 vessels assessed by a Kenya Ports Authority chief pilot and senior pilot.

We have to admit that her achievement is admirable.
