Posidonia

The International Shipping Exhibition

Piraeus, Greece June 4-8, 1990

Posidonia '90, the biennial inter- national shipping exhibition, will be held in Piraeus, Greece, from June 4 to 8, 1990, at the Piraeus Port

Authority waterfront exhibition center.

Providing the industry with a vote of confidence, as early as mid-

February nearly 600 firms from 43 countries had booked space at Posi- donia '90. Additional space had to be added to the exhibition area to accommodate the demand. The event might well be staged on all three levels of the exhibition center for the first time since 1984.

Sixteen countries have already confirmed national pavilions with

Britain, the United States, the Ne- therlands and West Germany book- ing the largest areas. France, Italy,

Norway, Japan, Singapore and Fin- land are also mounting strong na- tional representations as is the So- viet Union, East Germany and Bul- garia. For the first time at Posidonia '90, several independent Soviet maritime companies are booking space outside their country's na- tional pavilion.

Based upon present registration trends, the host nation, Greece, will once again have a large representa- tion at the exhibition.

Exhibition participants cover every facet of the maritime industry from ships' equipment suppliers and shipyards to high-tech office equipment and service companies, shipbrokers, finance institutions, insurance organizations, seamen's travel companies, port authorities, ship classification societies, inspec- tion services, ship registries, publi- cations and humanitarian services.

Several companies have revealed they intend launching new products during the exhibition. 38 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
