World Maritime Day HistoryWorld Maritime Day is a global observance established by the United Nations (UN), through the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), to recognise the maritime industry's invaluable contributions to the world's economy. This day highlights the importance of shipping safety, maritime security, and environmental protection. World Maritime Day aims to ensure a sustainable and thriving maritime industry that supports international trade and fosters economic growth by focusing on these essential aspects. The history of World Maritime Day can be traced back to 1978 when IMO decided to dedicate a day each year to celebrate the maritime sector. The observance holds great significance for South Africa due to the country's strategic geographic position connecting worldwide maritime routes. South Africa's strong maritime tradition and growing maritime economy demonstrate the importance of this industry to the nation's development. The country has taken several significant steps, such as implementing the Operation Phakisa initiative- aimed at unlocking the potential of the oceans and boosting economic growth, job creation, and sustainable use of marine resources. World Maritime Day is observed in South Africa through various events and activities that bring together maritime stakeholders, including the South African government, industry representatives, and maritime institutions. These events raise awareness about the significance of the maritime industry and take place on a date determined by the International Maritime Organization each year, typically the last week of September. This observance helps underline South Africa's crucial role in the global maritime context and fosters a thriving and sustainable maritime industry for the future. World Maritime Day facts
