Going Dutch

摘要

Europe's second major marine trade fair of the year is beginning to establish its own unique mix of sector representation, with nine areas selected for special promotion. And although it has lost its 'Maritime' suffix, the show has gained a theme: Advanced technology, imagination becoming reality. The move back to its original Rotterdam setting in 2005 saw the commercial shipping-focused Europort wedded to the inland and fishing show Rotterdam Maritime. While inland waterways, fishing and work boats may have limited appeal to the commercial shipping world, there should still be plenty of exhibitors to satisfy the interests of most visitors to the exhibition.
