Transport Minister Aishath Nahula has stated that the Maldives will be taking part in the International Maritime Labor Convention and ratifying the move very soon while also developing workers in the field.

Speaking in an address commemorating the World Maritime Day, Minister Nahula said that the Maldives had introduced a shipping company despite the difficult situation with COVID-19. The move would increase the capacity of the nation in the maritime industry.

The effects of COVID-19 on the industry were harsh, said the Minister who noted that there was difficulty in travel to nations. The slogan for this year’s Maritime Day is “Sustainable hipping for a sustainable planet”. Minister Nahula said that the voice of nations in danger due to global warming and climate change should be heard.
