To celebrate World Maritime Day in 2022, share these posters and images
Every September, the final Thursday is dedicated to honouring the maritime industry, and in this year, 2022, that day will fall on September 30. This holiday is held in honour of the contributions made by those who labour in the maritime sector. The Latin word “maritimus,” which means “of the sea,” is where the word “maritime” in English comes from.
The day promotes understanding of and appreciation for the contributions made by sailors, service personnel, and maritime officials. Due to the lengthy working hours and the sacrifice of being away from home, the marine life is extremely difficult.
