“The Vietnamese maritime industry is already growing in tandem with the economic rebound,” Ms Rosalind Ng, Managing Director (Asia) of IIR Exhibitions Pte Ltd., said. “With the government’s support of USD750 million to develop the sector, the maritime industry in Vietnam is set to develop and grow rapidly, to cope with impending pressure from increasing trade. There is no better time than now for Maritime Vietnam 2011 to boost its standing as the most timely industry event to bring the local Vietnamese and regional industry players, as well as the international maritime community, together to meet this challenge.”
The exhibition will showcase sectors including shipbuilding, marine equipment and supplies, oil and gas, port & logistics industries.
