IMO theme for 2026 & 2027

 

‘From Policy to Practice: Powering Maritime Excellence’ has been selected as the International Maritime Organization’s World Maritime Day theme for 2026 and 2027, culminating in the annual celebration on the final Thursday of September each year.

Meeting in London last week, the IMO Council endorsed a proposal from Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez to keep the theme for a two-year period.

The theme highlights the Organization’s clear commitment to develop Member States’s capacity to put policies into practice, by providing technical assistance, training and other essential services.

Secretary-General Dominguez said: “The theme transmits a clear message of our commitment to ensuring regulations are put into action and providing the necessary technical assistance for implementation to Member States. This ultimately strengthens the confidence that global rules agreed at IMO can lead to safer, more secure and environmentally sound shipping worldwide.”
