KORMARINE 2023

INTRODUCTION
Kormarine is the largest and most prestigious marine trade exhibition, fully supported by the world’s biggest Shipbuilders in Korea as well as leading international shipowners and offshore operators. Kormarine brings together domestic/international shipbuilding companies plus maritime, oil & gas companies with all their buyers and engineers. According to Clarkson Research, 62% of high value-added vessel orders in the first half of 2022 occurred in Korean shipyards.
The four-day event comprises an exhibition and conference and is open to companies which design, manufacture, maintain, repair or modernise maritime equipment and promote, sell or provide maritime services. In 2021, Kormarine welcomed more than 700 exhibitors from 30 countries across 35,000sqm of trade show floor. The UK Group at Kormarine is now fully booked.
