National Maritime Day 2021: Every year India celebrates maritime day on April 5
National Matitime Day 2021: India is marking the National Maritime Day today. A day dedicated to Indian seafarers, National Maritime Day is an opportunity to say Thank You to the navy men in the country who work round the clock to ensure seamless transportation of essential goods. International trade and commerce would come to a standstill without the seafarers who spend months at a stretch on the ship. Amid the pandemic, the seafarers risked their lives and brought back thousands of Indians who were stranded in other countries due to the coronavirus-forced lockdown. National Maritime Day is celebrated every year on April 5 since 1964.
