World Maritime Day

World Maritime Day

25 September

"At a time when the world is beset by conflict and crisis, it is easy to forget that, day in and day out, the international shipping industry works quietly and efficiently to keep the wheels of global trade in motion and ensure the timely delivery of the goods and commodities ... On World Maritime Day, let us recall the often unheralded but always vital contribution by international shipping to peoples and communities all over the world."

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

World Maritime Day was established in 2005 by a UN resolution on a recommendation of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). This celebration is to show the challenges and importance of maritime issues in the management of the global economy.
