New Trade Show To Debut

In Argentina

The launch of a new trade show,

Expo Martima Mercosur, was

May, 1997 announced in March. The show is scheduled to take place from

November 11 to 13 at Centro Costa

Salguero in Buenos Aires,

Argentina. The decision to launch the event was reportedly based on growth that Mercosur — a free trade zone emcompassing

Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay,

Paraguay and associate members

Chile and Bolivia — is displaying in the marine sector. In Argentina, the privatization of the industry has dramatically revitalized the maritime industry.

Businesses involved in all aspects of marine service and sup- ply, including ports, shipbuilding, shipping, repair, passenger trans- port and waterway development interests are expected to be in attendance. For more information on the show, contact Diversified

Expositions, at tel: (207) 842-5500.
