Reem Al-Khwaiter, a Saudi marine mechanical engineer, has been honored with the 'Young Achieved Women' award during the ShipTek International Awards 2024 conference in Dubai.
The (Shiptek) conference is one of the leading maritime conferences in the maritime transport sector, which was held this year in Dubai on January 24-25.

The "Young Achievers" award is one of the leading international annual awards in the maritime sector, sought by many interested in the maritime transport sector, and is nominated according to certain criteria determined by experts specialized in the sector.
Al-Khwaiter is the first Saudi mechanical engineer in the maritime sector, as she continues her career with (Bahri), the national shipping company of the Kingdom and is the largest owner and operator of giant crude oil tankers (VLCC) and chemical tankers in the Middle East.
The employment and enrollment rate of Saudi women in the maritime transport sector is on the rise, as part of the quest to empower women cadres in the maritime transport sector, reflecting the continuous efforts to achieve the objectives of the National Transport and Logistics Strategy (NTLS).

The world population increased by more than 71 million people in 2024 and will be 8.09 billion people on New Year's Day, according to US Census Bureau estimates released Monday.

The 0.9% increase in 2024 was a slight slowdown from 2023, when the world population grew by 75 million people. In January 2025, 4.2 births and 2.0 deaths were expected worldwide every second, according to the estimates.

The United States grew by 2.6 million people in 2024, and the US population on New Year's Day will be 341 million people, according to the Census Bureau.

The United States was expected to have one birth every 9 seconds and one death every 9.4 seconds in January 2025. International migration was expected to add one person to the US population every 23.2 seconds. The combination of births, deaths and net international migration will increase the US population by one person every 21.2 seconds, the Census Bureau said.

So far in the 2020s, the US population has grown by almost 9.7 million people, a 2.9% growth rate. In the 2010s, the US grew by 7.4%, which was the lowest rate since the 1930s.
