A merger between Europort and

Rotterdam Maritime brings the newly titled Europort Maritime, the largest maritime trade show in Netherlands his- tory, to Rotterdam, The Netherlands,

November 1-5, 2005. By expanding exhibition space to accommodate more than 700 exhibitors from different branches of the maritime field, Europort

Maritime offers the experience of multi- ple shows with the convenience of one location. Additionally, the show prom- ises an easy-going atmosphere more akin to a meeting of colleagues than competitors. Highlights include the day-long Mare Forum, a workshop unit- ing members of all parts of the maritime community to talk and debate the prob- lems facing the technical side of ship- ping.

The forum is unique in that it consists not of long speeches, but instead gives all attendees a chance to share their viewpoints. 1-5 November 2005 at Ahoy’ Rotterdam, The Netherlands
