2009 World Maritime Day Parallel Event

Planning an event in your port


Please note: Some of the Web sites listed below are not federal government Web sites, and may not necessarily operate under the same laws, regulations and policies as federal Web sites.

Since many people will not be able to attend the World Maritime Day Parallel Event in New York, ports around the country held their own observances to provide valuable education, awareness and publicity on the maritime community's efforts to combat climate change.

A guide to assist ports in planning their World Maritime Day observance was created. The guide includes information on World Maritime Day, climate change and its impacts on maritime transportation, along with a number of event ideas.

For questions regarding how to plan a World Maritime Day observance, please contact the Port Outreach Coordinator:
