Riding on the wave of a resurgent global economy, Sea Asia 2011 is set to open next week (April 12, 2011) as the biggest in the series yet - with every indication that Asia's shipping community is primed to grab the many opportunities now arising.
Sea Asia 2011, which will open for three days from 12-14 April at Marina Bay Sands® in Singapore, will feature a major international exhibition exceeding a gross 13,600 square metres - 70% up on the inaugural event in 2007. The exhibition space has been sold out with more than 300 companies from 40 countries confirmed to exhibit. CEOs, shipping executives and professionals from 60 countries have registered to participate in the conference and exhibition.
Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence, Mr Teo Chee Hean will be the Guest of Honour to officially open Sea Asia 2011 and tour the exhibition on the morning of Tuesday, April 12.
Sea Asia 2011 is the region's 'must attend' event of the year for Asia's maritime industry. It is a gathering of business heads from all over the world to meet and discuss the direction of growth for the global shipping industry and indirectly - the world's trade.
"Sea Asia 2011 shows the resilience and dynamism of Asia's maritime industries and again points to the fact that this region will continue to play a leading role in the global maritime sector. I am delighted to see maritime companies of diverse specialisations exhibiting at Sea Asia and there is every indication that the event will draw a record crowd," said Michael Chia, Chairman of co-organisers the Singapore Maritime Foundation (SMF).
