SMM India 2013

SMM is the leading international platform for new maritime technology and innovation, bringing together key decision-makers from the full spectrum of the shipbuilding industry. Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH and INTER ADS Exhibitions Pvt. Ltd. are proud to present the second SMM India.

An impressive 2,800 trade visitors and delegates from 30 nations attended the successful SMM India premiere in 2009 – with exhibitors from every corner of the globe, showcasing their innovations. Also present were numerous ship owners and high-ranking representatives from the Indian shipbuilding industry and shipyards, as well as the Indian Navy and coastguard. These exceptional facts and figures together with the high-calibre supporting programme have firmly established SMM India in the global shipbuilding industry calendar.

Steeped in a strong shipbuilding tradition, India has become a rapidly growing international force in the maritime industry – making it the ideal venue for SMM. The Indian shipbuilding sector is developing quickly and is expected to grow annually by 30 %. Its share in the world market has soared in the last 5 years and the aim to be no.4 in the world is now within grasp. What’s more, with the exponential increase in the number of ships calling at Indian shipyards, ship-repair facilities are becoming another increasingly attractive opportunity to boost the industry.
