Europort 2023
Our seas and rivers are filled with challenges and opportunities. We invite you to take part in this journey of an evolving maritime industry.
Europort, organized in the world port city of Rotterdam, is the international maritime meeting place for innovative technology and complex shipbuilding. With an average of 25,000 professional visitors and 1,000 exhibiting companies Europort belongs to the world’s largest maritime meeting & knowledge sharing B2B platforms.
Our seas, rivers and channels are deeply rooted in The Netherlands’ DNA. The Dutch are globally renowned for challenging these waters and for their maritime expertise on extraordinary projects.
While the exhibition will span every aspect of the maritime world, it is therefore only natural that Europort has a strong focus on high-tech ships. These nine categories of special-purpose vessels will be particularly prominent at Europort:
- Sea Shipping
- Naval Vessels
- Cruise & Ferry
- Inland Shipping
- Dredging
- Workboats
- Fishing Vessels
- Super Yachts
- Offshore Specials
For many decades Europort has been the exhibition and meeting place where the industry gets together to connect, cooperate and innovate. After being 80 years in the progress, Europort remains dedicated to offer the right platform.
