Looking ahead to Middle East Workboats 2013
When the doors opened on the first Middle East Workboats back in 2008, the industry welcomed this event and it immediately became the ‘must attend’ exhibition and conference on the workboats calendar.
2013 sees the 4th chapter return to ADNEC in Abu Dhabi with a pledge from the organisers, Seatrade, to bring a greater number of visitors, more exhibitors and enhanced features to the show floor. There will be greater emphasis on the growing offshore market and an unrivalled conference programme debating and challenging the industry and its future.
The 2011 figures:
- More than 2,800 participants – a 6% increase on 2009
- A 23% increase in exhibition space on 2009
- 175 exhibitors including pavilions from Singapore and Spain
