In connection with World Maritime Day, which is celebrated every year on September 27, we focus on the critical importance of the maritime sector for our island of Aruba. Aruba’s maritime sector plays a crucial role in the security of our national security.
Since the discovery of the American continent in the 15th century, the flame has become a vital instrument for transporting not only ourselves, but also material across global scales. Our dependence on mud is not only historical, but it is crucial for the general well-being.
Aruba, being an island surrounded by water, we have to realize the importance of our maritime sector. Directie Scheepvaart is a vital pillar in the support and regulation of this sector. Their role in ensuring that all maritime operations comply with international safety standards and regulations is essential for our island. Directie Scheepvaart directs the development of policies that support the sustainable growth of the industry.
The maritime industry is key to our global trade. In Aruba, we are massively dependent on the constant flow of maritime activities. Together with the areo sector, maritime transport is one of the only ways to import and export products, connecting our island with the rest of the world. It could be said that the vast majority of the products that you have at home arrived in Aruba through the transport lines over the sea.
On World Maritime Day, we recognize and appreciate the continuous work of all those who contribute to continue strengthening the sector that is directly related to our quality of life. We applaud everyone involved in the maritime sector and their dedication to keeping Aruba connected to the rest of the world.
