On the occasion of World Maritime Day, the National Shipping Board extends its warmest greetings and deepest appreciation to the entire maritime fraternity—our dedicated seafarers, port operators, shipbuilders, maritime administrators, and industry stakeholders.

​The maritime sector remains the lifeblood of global trade, carrying the pulse of economic growth, energy security, and international connectivity. Today, as our maritime landscape undergoes a transformative shift toward sustainable practices, green shipping corridors, digital logistics, and enhanced safety standards, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering a resilient and forward-looking blue economy.

​We take this opportunity to salute our seafarers, whose unwavering professionalism and sacrifices at sea ensure the seamless movement of essential goods across the globe. The National Shipping Board remains steadfast in advising and collaborating across policy and industry spheres to strengthen infrastructure, safeguard mariner welfare, and propel our national maritime vision onto the global stage.

​Wishing all members of the maritime community safe voyages, calm seas, and continued success in steering our waters toward a sustainable and prosperous future.

Visited Mangalore Marine College and Technology. Held wonderful interactions with the experienced faculty members and the young cadets.

The workshop facilities and the simulators were top class. The institute is an excellent example of synergy between the maritime industry (MSC) and the maritime training institute.

Many more such collaborations will help India fulfil its Maritime vision enshrined in MIV 2030 and MAKV 2047.

Visit to New Manglore Port. The port is truly a greener, cleaner and leaner port. Visited the existing bays and the cruise terminal.

It is heartening to note that the tourism potential is being tapped now. The port has preserved its pristine greenery while being an important partner in India's Maritime Journey.

The port management is driving it's MAKV 2047 targets with a lot of dedication and hardwork

Visit to Udupi Cochin Shipyard Limited. It was fascinating to see the transformation of an NCLT distressed asset into a vibrant and buzzing Ship building yard again at Udupi.

It was the sheer hardwork and strong determination of the UCSL officials and the dedicated Maritime labour workforce which made it happen.

A true inspiration for all. May this success be replicated at many other locations to make our India a great Maritime Nation again by 2047.
