SEA JAPAN 2026

ABOUT SEA JAPAN

The 16th edition of the Sea Japan international maritime exhibition and conference is set to take place at TBC from TBC. This premier event will see over 600 exhibitors from 30 countries and regions convene in Tokyo, facilitating connections with Japan's leading shipowners and shipbuilders. 
Anticipated to be the largest in terms of scale and participating companies, the 2026 event will focus on clean energy. This presents a golden opportunity for international enterprises to spotlight their cutting-edge technologies and offerings to potential partners and buyers within the Japanese market – a global leader in shipbuilding. 
Sea Japan 2026 will concurrently host Offshore & Port Tech 2026, an event that will serve as a dynamic platform for knowledge-sharing between emerging ocean businesses and the maritime sector. This includes discussions on the blue economy, advancements in marine renewable energy like offshore wind power generation, and strategies for achieving carbon neutrality in port operations. 
The Japanese maritime market is mature, established and reliable. If you have outstanding products and services to offer, you will find quality buyers in Japan.

STAND & GRAPHICS

The UK Pavilion is located in a prime location at the front of the exhibition hall.  The floor plan is shown below.  We will use an enhanced shell-scheme and each stand will be finished to a high standard with strong, visible, UK branding.

Each stand will be carpeted and fitted with furniture - your package includes, Information Counter, 4x Chair, Round table, Wastepaper basket, 5Amp/220V Socket, Spotlights. Any other additions to the standard package must be organised directing with the show organisers and payment settled by the exhibitor separately. 

Once the standbuilder has been appointed we will work with them to get the best possible price for having graphics produced and mounted at the show.  Your Stand Graphics can be printed and mounted by the standbuilder, SMI will provide an outline of graphics costs and co-ordinate with the standbuilder

Stands will be available from 9sqm up to 24sqm (in 3sqm increments).  Booking quickly is of prime importance as it is normally impossible to increase our space allocation and the show will be sold out.

If you wish to exhibit on a corner stand, please make your request at the time of booking. Corner stands will be available in strict order of booking, while we will do our best to fulfil any requests; locations cannot always be guaranteed and are strictly first-come, first-served.

Please kindly note: No extra pop-ups or stand systems will be allowed as they will interrupt the open sight line format of the pavilion.  It will also cause your neighbouring stand to see the unfinished back of it which would be unacceptable.
