This year's Shipbuilding, Machinery and Marine Technology (SMM) international exhibition, held from September 26-29 in Hamburg, Germany, broke all records. A total of 1669 exhibitors from 50 nations took part. The exhibition itself, already enormous in 2004, was considerably extended, with the opening of three new halls (more to follow for 2008). Trade visitors totalled more than 45,000 -another record, and 70% claimed to be decision-makers in their companies. The Naval Architect was also there, and in the following pages, we report on a small selection of the many innovations on show.
