According to the statement, “She was a notable and accomplished shipping magnate and maritime lawyer. This is a great loss to the maritime community especially the fishing sub sector.
“Her demise will be felt by her associates and the maritime community. She contributed immensely to the growth and development of the maritime industry.
“She was an inspiration to a lot of women who saw her as a star in a male-dominated maritime sector. She puts her heart and determination into every endeavour she embarked upon.”
