Seatrade Middle East Maritime
1/27/2003
This maritime industries' event for the Middle East and Indian Subcontinent will be held between 3rd and 5th February 2003 at Grand Hyatt Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The huge potential of the Middle East and Indian Subcontinent for the maritime industries will be put under the spotlight for the first time in a major new event for the region. The event will include an integrated conference and exhibition and a full social programme, building the relationships essential for doing business in this dynamic market.
The Conference programme will concentrate attention on the potential of the Middle East and Indian Subcontinent for the maritime industries. The region contains a wide diversity of shipowning interests, combining established concerns in the tanker and liner sectors with an influx of highly motivated and entrepreneurial newcomers. The impressive number and diversity of ships calling in the region from all sectors, make it an outstanding location for dry docks and the quality and sophistication of the region’s shiprepair industry is well recognised. The conference will look at energy exports and their transportation, the region’s strategic importance for the major liner operators and the growth of intra-regional trade, port and terminal development, the emergence of ship owning and ship management in the region and the rapid expansion of the infrastructure necessary to service it, from ship repair, dry dock and bunkering to financial, legal and brokerage and agency services. Seatrade Middle East Maritime will also incorporate a symposium on the development of cruise tourism in the region, and how it may fit into the expanding geography of the cruise industry world-wide.
