It was a distinct honour to attend the World Seafarers Day 2026 celebrations at the Bangladesh Marine Academy, Chattogram, today, 25 June, in my capacity as Managing Director of Haque & Sons Ltd.

Graced by the Honourable Secretary of the Ministry of Shipping as the Chief Guest, the event brought together key representatives from ship-owning companies, manning agencies, academy officials, and maritime professionals. The occasion served as a vital platform to recognize the indispensable contributions seafarers make to global trade.

It was deeply inspiring to witness the collective commitment of all stakeholders toward the continued advancement of Bangladesh’s maritime sector. I extend my sincere appreciation to the Bangladesh Marine Academy and special thanks to the commandant for organizing such a meaningful event and uniting our maritime community on this special day. Happy Seafarers day 2026.
