World Maritime Day Message :
My greetings to all Indian citizens on the occasion of World Maritime Day 2024, especially to those people whose lives are closely connected to the seas. It is my belief that India can realise its 'Amrit Kaal' dream only if it realises its maritime potential.
Our Maritime Blindness for several decades since our Independence has cost us heavily. Fortunately, over the last decade or so, there has been a growing realisation that our future prosperity can never be delinked from the oceans.
India fares poorly on all parameters of maritime strength - be it shipbuilding, shipping, ports, oceanographic research, deep sea fishing or maritime infrastructure. This is compounded by less than adequate maritime skilling of our workforce. It is time to set things right and realise our true maritime potential. Towards this aim, recent initiatives by the GoI like announcement of the Maritime Development Fund and a fresh impetus to ports and maritime infrastructure are laudable.
Once again, I extend my greetings to fellow citizens and seafarers. May Lord Varuna shower His benevolence upon India's maritime future.

Want your business to be the top-listed Media Company?

Voice of the Marine Community
In 2016, Amit Kumar, an eminent professional from the maritime fraternity, charted a course most other seafarers couldn’t even dream of—to create India’s top maritime media house. With nothing at his disposal but the sheer grit and desire to revolutionize maritime reporting, Kumar put his all into pooling together resources, and expertise to establish a media house, which later realised the goal it was intended to—become India’s top maritime media authority. And thus, Sea and Coast was birthed.
Shipping is considered to be one of the oldest professions, yet, how regularly does an average joe hear about the chronicles from the sea? And even s/he does, it’s usually something grim like pirates hijacking a vessel or sinking of ships. Even those working in the industry had bare minimum exposure to the stories from the surface of the ocean. There were some international publications that rarely paid heed to local waters along with a handful of smaller not-so-credible publications and the rest was just sea-lore. And there was no common platform for dialogue of the sea-farers community.
Amit was quick to notice this gap and he took the plunge. His objective was simple, “Paying gratitude to the unsung marine community and the shipping industry”. A media house catering to the shipping industry, marine community, and oil & natural gas industry was a long-felt need in India. Amit believes the need of the hour is that the modern seafarer, who serves in this increasingly complex and commercial shipping environment, must be well-informed and entertained.
Miles Ahead
What gives Sea and Coast a decided edge over other maritime media houses is its high proficiency over the subject matter, exclusive coverage of policymakers, and the ability to bring all stakeholders of the industry on a common platform to deliberate and find solutions. Another key difference is their editorial board’s nimble nature and agile operations. They believe in questioning and also being questioned.
Shore Up
Sea and Coast is not just another magazine; it is India’s first and only magazine which covers Maritime, Shipping, Offshore, Oil & Gas, and Naval News. They’re also the official media partner of the National Maritime Foundation (top maritime think-tank) and have one of the most illustrious advisory boards with names like Admiral R K Dhowan (Retd.) PVSM, AVSM, YSM, Former-Chairman National Maritime Foundation, and Former Chief of the Naval Staff on it. (complete list at the bottom)
But these accolades are not what Amit does it for. He does it for the seafarer who goes on board for a long length of time and is away from friends and family. “They carry it [the Sea and Coast magazine] with them in their bag packs, so that they can read those during the leisurely time at high seas and feel like there’s someone out there who is looking out for them,” says Amit with the pure mirth in his voice. Amit Kumar’s priority is to bring the maritime world together and encourage the adoption of best practices in the industry. To the dreamer—Amit, Sea and Coast is more than a media house; it is a realisation of collective dreams.
All Hands on Deck
Sea and Coast is taking up newer endeavours to bring the shipping community together like in September of 2019, the media house conducted a path-breaking seminar in Delhi themed ‘Maritime Safety and Harnessing the Blue Economy — Challenges and Opportunities for Maritime India’. The organization has a lot of other outreach programmes in the pipeline. The whole Sea and Coast Team is working extremely hard every day to connect the industry and bring the revolution they set out to.
The Sea and Coast vessel has just set sail. Their voyage has just begun and there’s a lot more water to cover. And nothing is going to anchor down the passionate Amit Kumar.
