Marintec China 2025
2nd-5th December 2025, Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), China
INTRODUCTION
Marintec China is among the largest maritime exhibitions and conferences in Asia, showcasing the significance of the Asian maritime market. It highlights the strength of Chinese shipyards with a focus on shipbuilding, offshore engineering, marine equipment, and technology.
In addition to the exhibition, Marintec China features a conference program that addresses a wide array of topics, aiming to enhance industry collaboration, foster business partnerships, and encourage knowledge sharing among professionals.
With China’s vessel orderbook nearing $225 billion - representing 50% of the global orderbook (SeaEurope Shipbuilding Market Report, September 2024) - the maritime industry is poised for significant opportunities. Building connections and engaging with key stakeholders are crucial for securing new business in this globally influential market.
Exhibiting at Marintec China offers an exceptional platform to explore cutting-edge technologies and innovations in the supply chain while fostering networking, relationship-building, and business opportunities. For anyone in the maritime sector aiming to succeed in China, Marintec China is a must-attend event.
