The Maritime and Port Authority of Brunei Darussalam (MPABD) in support of World Maritime Day 2023 joined the global illumination of landmarks around the world to promoting the yearly theme.
This year, MPABD alongside the International Maritime Organization (IMO) bathed its headquarters and buildings in blue and green lightings to promote this year’s theme, ‘MARPOL at 50 – Our Commitment Goes On’.
The annual symbolic effort aims to raise awareness on the vital contribution of shipping to the world and unite the maritime community from all corners of the globe.
With support from the government, MPABD also illuminated the Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Bridge in blue and green on Thursday.
“MPABD hopes that such initiatives will help foster greater unity across Brunei Darussalam’s maritime community, and most importantly, reinforce the vital importance of the maritime industry in supporting global trade, for it remains the lifeblood of the global economy,” they said in a press release.
