Asia Pacific Maritime 2026

                                                  25th - 27th March 2026 

Asia Pacific Maritime (APM) is one of the leading maritime exhibitions and conferences in the Asia-Pacific region, held biennially in Singapore. It provides a vital platform for the shipbuilding, marine, workboat, and offshore sectors to showcase the latest products, technologies, and services, while connecting with key stakeholders from across the global maritime value chain.

APM 2026 is expected to welcome over 20,000 industry professionals, host 750 international exhibitors, and feature more than 150 expert speakers across three vibrant days.

As a global maritime hub, Maritime Singapore is home to over 5,000 maritime establishments, including major shipyards and more than 140 of the world’s top international shipping groups. The sector employs around 160,000 people and plays a crucial role in regional and global trade.

With the continued growth of intra-regional trade in Asia Pacific - one of the world’s fastest-growing markets - APM consistently attracts visitors from across the region, including Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and China, offering unmatched exposure and opportunity for participating companies.
