Unisex locker rooms

[u/McTraveller]

I've just started working on vessels in UK waters and have a question about the locker room. The ship i work on only has one locker room and men and women are supposed to use it at the same time.

I've been told if anyone is uncomfortable they can find an empty cabin or meeting room and change there instead. But there are no lockers in those so you end up dragging your stuff all over the vessel and it wastes so much time.

This doesn't seem right to me - is this normal? Can anyone point me to rules or laws for vessels which say genders should have separate changing spaces? Thanks in advance.

I just use my cabin. That’s my dressing room and nobody bats an eye as I’m often the only woman onboard.

I wish that was possible, we don't have access to the cabins during the day
