Asia’s Largest Maritime Event Celebrates its 30th Anniversary with New Benchmark

Marintec China once again received proof of its status as the industry’s most reputable maritime event in Asia. The 15th Edition of Marintec China has grown by 40% in terms of floor area. Performing as one of the most important communication platforms in the industry, Marintec China has always achieved goals far beyond both exhibitors and visitors’ expectations. Marintec China has served the industry for the past 30 years and has grown together with the Chinese maritime industry. Marintec China, at the same time, witnessed the development of the industry. That is no doubt that Marintec has performed perfectly as the communication platform for the global maritime industry and it has also become a “must-attend” maritime exhibition in the calendar.

Having broken its record for floor area, Marintec China 2009 also attracted 20% more visitors than at the previous event. Although the industry has undergone a difficult time in 2009, all the figures that Marintec China 2009 accrued, show the strength of the industry. It was encouraging that the overall growth of exhibiting companies has been increased by 28%. The exponential growth, particularly, of Chinese exhibiting companies showed us the strong potency of the Chinese maritime industry, with the global economic downturn in 2008 already taken into account.

Ever-Growing Market with Unlimited Opportunities

With the increasing global reputation among industry professionals, Marintec China has showed its strength and adaptability to the global economic changes. The proactive policies from the Chinese government in the maritime industry further enhance the leadership position of China in the international maritime industry as well as the tremendous support from the Chinese government, overseas government officials, renowned maritime organizations and communities. All those attributes are the key to the success of the Chinese shipbuilding industry and thus has taken Marintec China to an ever large scale at the time of its special anniversary day. The encouraging result the show has demonstrated shows the confidence from the industry towards Marintec China, as well as the industry recovery. Marintec China will no doubt continue to act as the international stage for information flow, market communications and be the market-leading maritime event in Asia.
