Meet Ly, Senior Coastal Engineer of Maritime Vietnam
There is a minority of women represented in engineering. But at Royal HaskoningDHV, I have the opportunity to contribute and step up, regardless of gender.
Something has never changed
“Throughout my career, I have always viewed every projects’ work as my brainchild, nurturing it with utmost care and dedication. My goal has always been to cultivate and expand my knowledge continuously, as I firmly believe that learning is a lifelong journey. However, I must emphasize that I am not a solitary island in that journey. Collaboration and teamwork with my colleagues in Royal HaskoningDHV are deeply ingrained in my work ethic.”
“To describe myself in just three adjectives, they would be: passionate, meticulous, and focused. Passion drives my love for my work, enabling me to overcome challenges and fueling motivation for the next project. I constantly remind myself to be meticulous, ensuring that the products I create avoid mistakes and attain perfection to the best of my ability. Lastly, unwavering focus is my motto, enabling me to work efficiently and complete tasks at a faster pace. As I continue to evolve and grow, I cherish the lessons learned from my projects, colleagues and the shared experiences that have shaped me into the professional I am today. I look forward to embracing new challenges and making a meaningful impact in every endeavour that lies ahead.”
Expert in Dynamic Mooring Analysis (DMA)
“Every project I work on at Royal HaskoningDHV presents a unique set of challenges, varying geographical locations and diverse natural conditions. Also, clients have different requirements, prompting me to approach my work with meticulousness from the very beginning. Among them, the first project always leaves a profound impact, regardless of its size, as it marks the very first step in my journey.”
“One project that holds a special place in my heart as it marked Vietnam's team's first experience in handling a DMA project. Our task was to determine the environmental limits (wind, wave, and current) for small-scaled Liquefied Natural Gas Carrier (LNGCs) at existing jetties in Thailand, ensuring safe operations and mooring. The study aimed to assess each berth's operational capacity for different vessel sizes, and my responsibilities included data collection, running the DMA model with a NySIM software, post-processing results, and preparing the report.”
Woman in Engineering

Royal HaskoningDHV provides a workplace where gender equality and equal opportunities are paramount. This also means women can excel on their own merits.”
“From my perspective, the most effective way to encourage more women in engineering is by empowering them with the assurance that their efforts will be recognized and rewarded. We should avoid imposing any restrictions on women's career growth, irrespective of their level of dedication and hard work. I firmly believe that everyone aspires to make valuable contributions and progress in their professional journeys, regardless of their gender, and thus, no one should encounter barriers or limitations. Luckily, Royal HaskoningDHV is a place like this!”What makes Royal HaskoningDHV stand out
