World Maritime Day 2016 – “Shipping: indispensable to the world”

by admin

IMO FlagsWorld Maritime Day Thursday 29 September 2016.

Billions of people all over the world rely on shipping for the essentials and the luxuries in life, shipping is indispensable, yet very few people realise it. Is shipping’s relative anonymity a problem and, if so, why? The World Maritime Day theme provides an opportunity for the shipping community to tell its story: the story of an industry that, in terms of efficiency, safety, environmental impact and its contribution to global trade is unmatched by any other transport sector; the story of shipping – which is, truly, indispensable to the world.

Official video message by Kitack Lim, IMO Secretary-General, for World Maritime Day 2016​
