Seatrade once again brings together maritime and logistics professionals from across the Middle East to become an important platform for maritime buyers to source future products and services.

Launched in 2008, the three-day, informative show is ideal for shipyard suppliers as well as suppliers of technical expertise, shore services, offshore solutions, logistics services and marine equipment. Through Seatrade, these organizations are able to meet and interact with a strong group of maritime executives.

While most business transactions take place on the show floor, visitors can also participate through a unique online platform that brings a global audience directly to the exhibitors even after the live exhibition is over.

In addition to the B2B marketplace, the event offers a wealth of meeting and networking opportunities. In addition, awards such as "Women in Maritime Affairs" and "#20under40" (20 outstanding maritime professionals under the age of 40) are also included, recognising 20 outstanding maritime professionals under the age of 40. These awards recognize the successes and achievements of industry professionals who have paved the way for industry change and created opportunities for other professionals.
