The purpose of the day is to appreciate the importance of maritime industry and to underline the importance of maritime security, maritime environment, safety, and shipping.

The day also marks the day of adaptation of International Maritime Organisation (IMO) convention in 1958. It was first observed in 1978.

Namport will be hosting a series of events in this regard.

These include port tours for schools and the public, boarding and viewing of navy ships, as well as career exhibitions.

According to Edith Kukuri, Public Relations Liaison Officer at Namport, as an institution the event speaks to their short and long-term goal of narrowing the skills gap in the maritime industry.

“There is an existing skills gap in terms of Namibians employed in our domestic maritime industry. When we were growing up, we were really not informed of opportunities available in this field, and as you know, learners are preparing themselves for future careers, as a result we view it of strategic importance that we play an integral part in shaping the future of Namibian learners by availing resources in in line with not only our organisational goals but Namibia’s national development goals in terms of skills development in the maritime sector”, Kukuri informed Confidente.
