Happy World Maritime Day 2026
Every year, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) marks World Maritime Day to recognize shipping's vital role in global trade. More than 80% of world trade by volume moves by sea. This year's theme, "From Policy to Practice: Powering Maritime Excellence," marks the first two-year theme cycle in the observance's history, highlighting IMO's commitment to turning maritime policy into real, practical results. To every seafarer and maritime professional: thank you for keeping the world moving.
