Seawork Asia focus for burgeoning workboat market

Seawork Asia will take place at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center (SWEECC) from November 4 to 6 2014 produced by Mercator’s joint venture in China, Seawork Asia Company Limited.

Shanghai is at the centre of the fast growing East Asian commercial marine business

Seawork Asia is modelled on the success of Seawork International, which has been running in the United Kingdom for over 16 years. The exhibition presents a unique opportunity for companies to network and develop partnerships whilst showcasing their products and services using the event as a marketing platform to stimulate future growth and development.

“This is the first dedicated commercial marine exhibition to be held in mainland China and Shanghai is one of the region’s key destination cities. It presents an amazing opportunity for companies to create and research business in the heart of this fast growing, vibrant, East Asia marine market,” said Andrew Webster, chief executive, Mercator Media.

Shanghai is at the centre of the fast growing East Asian commercial marine business, which has a vast coastline to develop and maintain. The demand for marine civil engineering, workboats and floating plant, together with the equipment and services that keep them in operation is forecast to grow at double figure rates for the next 20 years.

This rapid increase in marine activity will also require a wide range of support services such as coastguard, patrol, safety and navigation.

The exhibition offers three days of networking opportunities with both exhibitors and visitors anticipated to attend from across Asia and all over the world. Visitors will authorise or influence purchasing decisions for the companies they represent. They will be high-calibre, high-spending professionals seeking innovative and cost-effective solutions for their organisations.

The exhibition presents the perfect opportunity to investigate and explore the East Asian commercial marine sector, including:

• Workboat and floating plant design, build or repair and maintenance
• Marine equipment including propulsion, deck equipment, coatings, marine electronics, required for workboats
• Marine civil engineering and construction, dredging and coastal development
• Marine contracting, vessel services, port services
• Marine renewables
• Commercial diving, underwater services
• Safety and training
• Staffing, manpower and recruitment
• Professional services such as marine finance, insurance and the law
