Statement From Premier - World Maritime Day

Our country has always been connected to the sea. World Maritime Day 2026 falls on Thursday, 24 September. That connection remains fundamental to our economy, our communities and our way of life.

World Maritime Day 2026
Statement from Premier and Minister for Financial Services and Commerce
Honourable André M. Ebanks, MP

Our country has always been connected to the sea. World Maritime Day 2026 falls on Thursday, 24 September. That connection remains fundamental to our economy, our communities and our way of life. The maritime sector enables the movement of food, fuel and essential goods, supports international trade and tourism, provides employment and business opportunities, and contributes to the resilience and security of our Islands.

This year’s theme, “From Policy to Practice: Powering Maritime Excellence,” is particularly meaningful for the Cayman Islands as we implement the newly structured Cayman Islands Maritime Governance Framework.
