FACTS & FIGURES 2015

ADVANCING MARITIME LEADERSHIP

The success of Europort rests on its ability to reach into markets at the level of detail which less focused events find hard to grasp. With more than 56 events dedicated to advancing leadership in technology, complex shipbuilding, ship efficiency, human capital, and niche sectors, the 2015 programme was enhanced by the addition of the Europort Masterclass Series, exploring leading edge maritime innovation. But let the numbers speak for themselves.

Among close to 30,000 visitors at this year’s event were an unprecedented number from overseas, with nearly half of the 1,111 exhibitors also from overseas, and 15 country pavilions within Europort’s 10 exhibition halls. The next edition of Europort will be held in Rotterdam 7-10 November 2017. We hope you will join the leaders of our industry there. In the meantime, visit www.europort.nl

As another challenging year for the mainstream maritime and offshore sector draws to a close, it is clear that leadership, innovation and original thinking will be a critical component of future business successes. For this reason, the overarching theme of Europort 2015, Advancing Maritime Leadership, resonated strongly throughout the industry.
