World Maritime Day Category BMA News Date Posted 24 September 2025 Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn On World Maritime Day 2025, we join the global maritime community in reflecting on this year’s theme: ‘Our Ocean, Our Obligation, Our Opportunity.’ More than a theme, it is a call to action. With over 80% of global trade moving by sea, the ocean sustains economies, communities, and ecosystems worldwide. As a leading flag administration, the Bahamas Maritime Authority is committed to protecting our oceans, upholding the highest standards of safety and sustainability, and seizing every opportunity to support a thriving maritime future.
