Join The Center Of The Maritime World At

EUROPORT '73

The World's Largest Maritime Show To Be Held In Amsterdam Between

November 13 And 17 Will Have Exhibits From 45 Countries. Concurrent

With The Exhibitions Will Be A Series Of Interesting Technical Papers.

This is a view of Europort '72 showing the RAI-Halls which will house Europort '73 but on a larger scale since this exhibition has grown larger with each succeeding year. The expanse of the hall makes it possible for each exhibit to be properly shown.

The world's largest maritime ex- hibition will take place in Amster- dam, Holland, from November 13 to 17. Known as Europort '73, this showing of marine equipment and services to a world-wide audience has eight cooperative national stands plus individual stands from firms located in a total of 45 coun- tries. The organizers of Europort '73 have reported that over 1,750 companies will display their prod- ucts and services.

A short rundown of the firms with exhibition areas shows that the exhibits will include ships gear of all shapes, sizes and description; shipyards; 47 makes of diesel en- gines ; repair and maintenance serv- ices and equipment; marine propul- sion ; electrical equipment; automa- tion equipment; navigation and communication equipment; port construction; dredging, and every other conceivable type of marine equipment and services.

The entire exhibition will be held under one roof in the RAI-Halls.

The exhibits will cover 500,000 square feet of space. The organizers of Europort '73, known as Europort

Organisation, recommend that visi- tors should allow at least two days for viewing and inspecting the ex- hibits.

Many United States' firms are listed among the exhibitors. With the monetary re-evaluations that have taken place during the past year, these firms feel that their market has Ibeen extended to cover the international marine market.

In conjunction with the exhibi- tion the Europort '73 Congress will be held on November 13th through the 16th. This Congress will be held in the RAI-Building.

An added inducement to attend- ing the exhibits and Congress is the concurrent Interocean '73 which is held in Dusseldorf from Novem- ber 13th to the 18th. People inter- ested in underwater technology problems can, therefore, combine the attendance at Europort and In- terocean. Dusseldorf can be reached from Amsterdam in three hours by train and 30 minutes by aircraft.

Europort '73 is the twelfth year that this exhibition has been held.

The enormous response by the maritime industry throughout the world has led the organizers to start planning Europort '74. Many requests and reservations for stand space in the 1974 show have been received by the organizers. Some of these requests have come from companies wishing to renew the success achieved at previous Euro- port shows, some wishing to follow the lead set by other international concerns exhibiting, and some com- panies wishing to continue their association and direct identification with this international marketing event.

For those firms who have not participated in these international shows, information on Europort '74 can be obtained by writing to

The organizers of these Europort exhibitions feel that the importance of these shows rests in the estab- lishing of new contacts and cre- ating and maintaining sales with companies in the international mari- time field. This has been proven over the years and, thus, the organ- izers must maintain both the quali- ty and the reputation of the exhibits at a high level. 34 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
