The celebration of World Maritime Day 2023, as detailed in a Hindustan Times article, brings light to the immense contribution of maritime industry and the importance of shipping safety, maritime security, and the marine environment. 

Observed today, September 28, the 2023 theme "Empowering Women in the Maritime Community," aligns with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, and underscores the significant yet underrepresented role of women in the maritime sector.
