Policy to practice

Powering maritime excellence

On World Maritime Day 2026, our CEO Captain John Lloyd FNI reflects on the importance of turning professional development into practice and recognises the dedication of maritime professionals working around the world, often in challenging circumstances.

To everyone working at sea and ashore and to the families supporting them: thank you for all that you do.

From all of us at The Nautical Institute, wishing you safe seas and smooth sailing.
