We are grateful to have received the top honour for Outstanding Foreign Employers of Indian Seafarers at India’s 62nd National Maritime Day Celebrations (NMDC), as well as recognition of our in-house training institute, Anglo-Eastern Maritime Academy, which was awarded 2nd rank in the Outstanding Maritime Training Institutes (Pre-sea) category.
Since 1964, National Maritime Day of India is celebrated every year on 5 April to commemorate the historic voyage of S.S. Loyalty, the first Indian-owned merchant ship, which sailed from Mumbai to London on this date in 1919. This momentous event marked India’s foray into international shipping and laid the foundation for the nation’s proud maritime journey.
This year, India celebrated the special occasion with great enthusiasm and reverence, honouring the nation’s rich maritime heritage and the exceptional contribution of seafarers as well as entities across the maritime industry to the nation’s growth and global connectivity. Under the aegis of India’s Directorate General of Shipping, the National Maritime Day Celebration Committee organised the celebration in New Delhi on 5 April.
On this occasion, India’s Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways recognised the outstanding services of individuals and organisations in the maritime sector by conferring awards and commendations to honour their dedication and achievements.
Anglo-Eastern has been recognised multiple times in both aforementioned categories, namely Outstanding Foreign Employers of Indian Seafarers and Outstanding Maritime Training Institutes, and remains the most decorated maritime company in India. We deeply appreciate the acknowledgment from India’s Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways and Directorate General of Shipping
This year, a two-week long Maritime Games was also featured as part of the celebrations. Representatives from Anglo-Eastern, Sandeep Jadhav, won the Carrom Singles game, whereas Girish Nachane and Sandeep Jadhav claimed victory in the Carrom Doubles game.
A big thank you and congratulations to all our team members who have worked tirelessly to reaffirm our commitment to delivering excellence and shaping a better maritime future.
