UAE’s first female crane operator hopes to inspire
The 28-year-old Emirati was looking for a new challenge and a hands-on position that was different.
Abu Dhabi: The commitment of Abu Dhabi Ports and Abu Dhabi Terminals to empower Emirati talent has produced tangible results with the emergence of the first UAE female crane operator, who controls one of the gigantic super-post-Panamax cranes at the Khalifa Port.
Ayesha Hassan Abdul Rahman Al Marzooqi could have remained a clerical worker in a convenient and well-furnished office environment, but she chose differently. The 28-year-old Emirati was looking for a new challenge and a hands-on position that was different.
“I watched a documentary about a female pilot in the UAE Air Force, which truly inspired me. Before I started my training at Khalifa Port container terminal, I was given a tour of the port facilities and the ship-to-shore quay cranes really fascinated me. I felt this was my calling and decided to become a crane operator.
“By being the first female quay crane operator in the UAE, I hope I will inspire other Emiratis to follow their ambitions, take on challenges and serve their country,” she said.
Ayesha works at Abu Dhabi Ports’ flagship Khalifa Port, the first semi-automated port in the GCC region and one of the most technologically advanced ports around the globe.
