Scheduled to be held from <strong>March 18 to March 24, 2025<\/strong>, the campaign aligns with India\u2019s vision to become a global maritime power by leveraging its extensive coastline and port infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%9B%B3%EF%B8%8F_Objectives_and_Themes_of_WAVES_2025\"><\/span>\ud83d\udef3\ufe0f <strong>Objectives and Themes of WAVES 2025<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The core objectives of WAVES 2025 include enhancing <strong>port efficiency<\/strong>, promoting <strong>green shipping practices<\/strong>, enabling <strong>coastal community development<\/strong>, and integrating <strong>digital technologies<\/strong> in maritime operations. The event will host multiple activities such as port-led events, digital campaigns, stakeholder interactions, and community outreach programs.
