Observed on June 25 every year, Day of the Seafarer recognises the invaluable contribution of seafarers to the worldwide commerce and economic system.

The day honours their contributions and is celebrated to show reverence to them. Governments, shipping associations, businesses, shipowners, and all other interested parties are asked to support and commemorate the Day in a meaningful and suitable way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This campaign offers seafarers the ability to express what is currently on their minds, whether it is the ongoing crew change dilemma or the direction that technology is headed in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Delhi<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

GMR Group-run Delhi Airport has become the first airport in the country to run entirely on hydro and solar power from this month in a major step toward achieving the ambitious goal of becoming a Net Zero Carbon Emission Airport by 2030, DIAL said. For this, Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), a GMR Infrastructure Limited-led consortium, which manages and operates the Delhi Airport, has signed a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with a Himachal Pradesh-based hydropower producing company for the supply of hydroelectricity for the airport until 2036, the private airport operator said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key points:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approximately 6 percent<\/strong> of the airport\u2019s electricity requirement is met from the onsite solar power plants while as much as 94 percent<\/strong> of the total demand is now being met through renewable energy use from the hydropower plant since June 1, thus ending its dependency on non-renewable power. DIAL has been working relentlessly towards environmental sustainability and has set its target to make Delhi Airport a Net Zero Carbon Emission airport by 2030, way ahead of the global target of 2050.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To achieve this, DIAL has adopted a Green Transportation program recently and now we achieved another milestone of the Green Energy Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
