National Maritime Day- 5th April
National Maritime Day is observed annually on April 5th in India to commemorate the historic voyage of SS Loyalty in 1919, marking the country's entry into international shipping. This momentous event laid the foundation for India’s self-reliance in maritime trade, challenging colonial dominance over sea routes. Established in 1964, the day recognizes the contributions of the maritime sector to India’s economy, raises awareness about emerging challenges, and highlights growth opportunities.
