Meet Aisha Al-Balushi: activist, educator and environmental impact officer

Asyad Container Terminal’s Environmental Officer Aisha Al-Balushi shares her passion for helping the shipping industry and other organisations to make more sustainable decisions and choices.

Her passion for the environment was formed in childhood in Oman where she was lucky enough to grow up with a strong connection to nature and landscape, a connection which has helped shaped her expertise and now her career with Asyad Shipping.

Mark joins Aisha in a café in Duqm, near where she works at the container port. She shares her vision for the importance of Duqm as a major hub for focussing on the environmental side of shipping. For Aisha the port at Duqm is perfectly placed to play a key role in developing a greener future for Oman.

Aisha’s love and interest in the environment extends beyond her role at work, she’s also a climate activist, volunteering as a teacher, educator and facilitator with the NGO Climate Fresk.
