Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday expressed hope that the National Maritime Week will add vigour to the ongoing efforts towards port-led development and harnessing the coasts for economic prosperity.

He was replying to a tweet by the Union Minister, Sarbananda Sonowal where he informed about pinning the first Maritime Flag on the Prime Minister’s lapel to mark the commencement of National Maritime Week. The National Maritime Day on April 5 celebrates the glorious history of India’s maritime tradition.

The Prime Minister tweeted, “May the National Maritime Week serve as an opportunity to deepen our connect with our rich maritime history. May it also add vigour to the ongoing efforts towards port-led development and harnessing our coasts for economic prosperity.”

Union Minister for Port, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal on Thursday tweeted, “The National Maritime Day on April 5 celebrates the glorious history of India’s maritime tradition. Honoured to pin the first Merchant Navy Flag on the lapel of Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi ji to mark the commencement of the National Maritime Week, 2023.”

To mark the importance of the day, the government is celebrating National Maritime Week from March 30, 2023, to April 5, 2023, paying tribute to the services of seafarers and celebrating the proud moment for India for the first Indian Steamship “S.S.
