Meet Londy Ngcobo, An International Ship Navigation Officer And Maritime Advocate, Is Africa’s First Female Dredge Master

Londy Ngcobo, an international Ship Navigation Officer and maritime advocate is Africa’s first female Dredge Master.

As a woman in a male-dominated industry, Ngcobo said she’s very passionate about unlocking Africa’s Ocean Economy.

As the first female Dredge Master in Africa, Ngcobo said “The realization when I passed out as a Dredge Master felt surreal, it is a title I never thought I would own because it obviously didn’t exist. It was not even my goal to hold this title, training came at the right time and I happened to be the only female on training then”.
