World Maritime Day 2007

To honour the vital contribution that the shipping industry makes to world trade, the Honourable Company of Master Mariners and the International Maritime Pilots Association in partnership with the International Maritime Organization will jointly host a celebration to mark World Maritime Day on September 27, 2007.


The theme chosen by IMO for World Maritime Day 2007 is IMO's response to current environmental challenges. The celebrations will be held onboard the world maritime heritage ship HOS Wellington in London, the premier maritime city.

The maritime industry is ideally placed to respond to those challenges as it is the most environmentally friendly mode of transportation and has a major role to play in the generation of renewable energy.
