The biennial Asia Pacific Maritime (APM), South-east Asia’s maritime, workboat and offshore exhibition and conference will hold its 17th edition at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore from March 16-18, 2022.
The last in-person APM was held in 2018, and APM 2022 is one of the two Approved International Fair events confirmed to date for this year.
Supported by the Maritime Port Authority, and Singapore Exhibition & Convention Bureau, this year’s APM will feature six official pavilions – Germany, Netherlands, Singapore, South Korea, United Kingdom and Taiwan – and some 7,000 attendees are expected to attend the event in person.
Exhibiting companies this year include ZF, Weichai, Volvo, MTU, Garmin, Inmarsat, Kohler, KVH and Marlink, which will be using APM 2022 to showcase their latest innovations, products, and services.
The APM 2022 conference, which is complimentary for attendees but subject to onsite seat availability, will allow in-depth discussions on issues impacting the maritime landscape, enabling attendees to learn and network in person. It comprises three forums – Asia Container Shipping, Maritime Cyber Security and Maritime Technology and Sustainability, with 15 conference sessions in total.
Forty-five maritime executives will be physically present to share their expertise and views on some of the most important issues affecting the industry.
