World Maritime Day 2024 : Quote by Homyar Desai, Director – Sea Freight, Jeena & Company
“World Maritime Day 2024’s theme, ‘Navigating the future: safety first!’ underscores the critical need to prioritise safety as the backbone of a sustainable and resilient maritime industry. For India, a nation whose maritime sector is integral to global trade and economic growth, ensuring robust safety standards is not just a necessity, but a strategic imperative. The ongoing Red Sea crisis serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities in international maritime routes, further emphasizing the need for enhanced safety measures. As we navigate these challenges, we must focus on innovation, collaboration, and preparedness to secure our seafarers, vessels, and supply chains to build a future-ready maritime sector.”
–Mr. Homyar Desai, Director – Sea Freight Jeena and Company
