Established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the day promotes dialogue among governments, industry stakeholders, and the public, focusing on contemporary maritime issues. Each year features a specific theme to guide discussions and initiatives that aim to improve maritime practices and policies. It serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness through the world's oceans and waterways.
