đ World Maritime Day 2025 đ
World Maritime Day 2025 will be observed on 25 September 2025, under the theme “Navigating a Sustainable Future: Innovation, Safety and Green Shipping.” This day, established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), is dedicated to highlighting the vital role of shipping in global trade, the protection of marine environments, and the development of safer, cleaner maritime transport.
Over 80% of world trade is carried by sea, making shipping the backbone of the global economy. Without ships and seafarers, the exchange of goods, energy, and resources would come to a standstill. World Maritime Day reminds us of the contribution of maritime industries to international cooperation, peace, and prosperity.
The 2025 theme emphasizes the importance of technological innovation, digitalization, and renewable energy in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from ships. It also recognizes the role of international regulations in ensuring safer seas, protecting seafarers’ rights, and promoting fair labor practices. Events will include seminars, educational programs, exhibitions, and commemorations at IMO headquarters in London and in ports worldwide.
In addition, Maritime Day 2025 serves as a tribute to seafarers who dedicate their lives to connecting nations across oceans, often working under challenging conditions. It also calls on governments, shipping companies, and individuals to support sustainable shipping and marine conservation.
By reflecting on these goals, World Maritime Day 2025 inspires collective action toward a greener and more resilient maritime sector, ensuring that oceans remain a source of life, trade, and cultural exchange for generations to come.
