Expoship Riomar is the only international maritime exhibition and conference in the entire continent of Latin

America. It is, therefore, the one major shipping event for anyone with business interests in this key market.

In October this year, Expoship Riomar returns to the Museum of Modern Art in the centre of the city. This is a move of enormous significance for it places the exhibition at the heart of Rio's business centre and only a short distance from the city's international and domestic airports. A high attendance is thus anticipated.

As in previous years, a conference will be linked to the exhibition. The two day programme will aim to identify and examine the key issues affecting the Latin American sea transport industry today.
