"Ladies and gentlemen, Once again, we celebrate the International Day of the Seafarer on the 25th of June, this year we highlight seafarers’ contribution to the safety of ships and protection of the marine environment.
As every year, every June 25 is commemorated the International Day of the Seafarer, a date that recognizes the contribution that seafarers make to the development and growth of the maritime industry, since they not only contribute to the activation of maritime trade and the world economy, but their work also has an impact on the development and growth of society.
On June 7-9, the XIII Regular Meeting of the Inter-American Committee on Ports (CIP-OAS) was held in Roatán, Honduras, organized by the Empresa Nacional Portuaria de Honduras (ENP) and the Secretariat of the Inter-American Committee on Ports (CIP) of the Organization of American States (OAS).
