The Bahamas Maritime Authority (BMA) Board, led by Chairman Jacqueline M. Simmons, recently paid a courtesy call on Her Excellency the Governor General, Dame Cynthia Pratt. During the visit, the Board presented a copy of the BMA’s commemorative album, Celebrating the Rich Maritime Heritage of The Bahamas, designed as a symbol of The Bahamas’ shared maritime heritage and enduring spirit.

Inspired by a desire to capture not only the achievements of the Bahamas Maritime Authority but also the broader history of the Bahamian maritime industry, the album pays tribute to the legacy of this vital sector. It highlights the pivotal role the maritime industry has played in The Bahamas’ development and celebrates a vibrant maritime tradition that has shaped the nation’s identity on the global stage.

The meeting included a productive discussion on the maritime sector’s contributions to The Bahamas and the growing career opportunities available to young Bahamians in the industry.
