Today, we proudly celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Turkish Cabotage Day.
The Cabotage Law, enacted under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, secured Türkiye's sovereign right to conduct maritime trade within its own territorial waters. It was not only an economic reform but also a powerful declaration of national independence at sea.
“As long as Turkish captains navigate Turkish seas, the Turkish nation will remain independent.”
— Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
Happy Cabotage Day to all maritime professionals who continue to carry this legacy forward.
