  The Ministry of Ports, Shipping And Waterways is organizing the India Maritime Week (IMW) 2025, scheduled to be held from 27th to 31st October 2025 at the NESCO Exhibition Centre, Mumbai. This flagship initiative is envisioned as a premier global platform to showcase India’s maritime capabilities, foster international collaboration, and catalyze strategic investments across the maritime ecosystem.

The event will feature approximately ten co-located thematic engagements, covering a diverse spectrum of focus areas — from maritime investments and geopolitical dynamics to green shipping, digital transformation, maritime finance, and gender inclusiveness. These parallel forums are designed to foster multidimensional dialogue, showcase global best practices, and catalyze actionable collaborations across the maritime ecosystem.

IMW 2025 will bring together over 100 maritime nations along with senior government officials, industry leaders, investors, and multilateral organizations for high-level deliberations on port infrastructure, shipping and logistics, sustainability, maritime security, and regional connectivity.

The event presents an unparalleled opportunity for coastal nations to enhance their maritime infrastructure, modernize port operations, and attract global investment in shipping and logistics. Simultaneously, landlocked nations can explore synergies with maritime trade, leverage advancements in connectivity, and facilitate expanded access to international markets for their industries and workforce. The holistic approach of the event aims to promote inclusive growth and sustainable maritime development, fostering strategic partnerships for shared prosperity.

The Ministry of Ports, Shipping And Waterways invites participation from  all stakeholders from ministries, maritime authorities, industry associations, and potential investors in Mauritania in IMW 2025.
