Nadia Bogomal, 37 years old Ukrainian and overhead crane operator, works from the cabin of her crane in the production hall of the Gdansk Shipyard in Gdansk, Poland, on March 6, 2026. "Around 70% of crane operators on construction sites today are women," according to a worker at the shipyard, a tradition inherited from the communist era. The shipyard, known as the birthplace of the Solidarnosc trade union that led to the fall of communism in Poland in 1989, still builds some ships but today, mainly wind turbines are produced at the site.
