Seatrade Maritime event returns to Dubai in 2023

DUBAI: Seatrade Maritime will bring its flagship Middle East conference & exhibition now titled Seatrade Maritime and Logistics Middle East back to Dubai in May 2023, under the patronage of the Ministry of Energy & Infrastructure, as part of UAE Maritime Week.

The maritime exhibition and conference – including Logistics for the first time – has been a firm fixture on the maritime calendar since 2003. The refreshed, re-invented and all-encompassing event will be the centerpiece of UAE Maritime Week connecting buyers and suppliers in the maritime & logistics community from 16-18 May to be filled with new features and improved core experiences.

H.E Eng. Hassan Mohamed Juma Al Mansouri, Undersecretary for Infrastructure and Transport Affairs at the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure said: “The maritime sector locally and globally has witnessed rapid growth over the last few years. Even more, during the pandemic, as our ports showcased their resilience with roundthe-clock operations, supporting governments to keep countries going. In the UAE itself, the maritime sector is a key economic pillar. Our boundless potential, competencies and qualified talents have helped us keep pace with the developments in the sector. Most importantly, the concerted efforts of 20 leading ports and other government and private sector stakeholders have ensured an annual contribution of over AED90 billion to the UAE’S GDP. This has solidified the country’s status as an international maritime hub with noteworthy rankings in several competitiveness indexes.”
