Minister's Message

한국 해양수산부 장관 김도형
 Greetings from the Minister


 Greetings. I am Kang Do-Hyung, Minister of Oceans and Fisheries.

 Korea Maritime Week, initiated as "Seoul International Maritime Forum" in 2007, has become a premier international maritime event in Korea, providing a platform for in-depth discussions on current issues in the field.

 Recently, the maritime sector has been undergoing significant transitions, such as decarbonization and maritime digitalization. In response to these changes, 2024 Korea Maritime Week will be held under the theme "International Maritime Sector in the Transitional Era: Challenges and Opportunities."

 This year, 15 maritime events from 11 organizations, previously held individually throughout the year, will be organized in parallel under Korea Maritime Week. We anticipate offering a wide range of experiences and opportunities to all participants, especially through High-Level Dialogues and the International Maritime Mobility Forum.

 We kindly ask for your valuable participation to ensure the successful hosting of Korea Maritime Week. Thank you.
