More than 200 businesses from 16 countries are expected to participate in the Inmex Vietnam 2013 (formerly Maritime Vietnam), in HCM City in early March 2013.

The exhibition has already received assistance from major foreign businesses and organisations such as the Holland Marine Equipment Association, the Institute of Marine Engineers India, the Indian National Shipowners Association (INSA), Maritime Norway, the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers Singapore (SNAMES), the Society of Maritime Industries, and the Marine and Offshore Equipment Industries.

Marjan Lacet, Director of HME Singapore, said she believes that with the participation of leading experts, Inmex Vietnam will be a valuable forum for sharing experiences and facilitating cooperation with Vietnam’s maritime industry.

“We are especially pleased with the organisers’ VIP buyer program, which will narrow the gap between buyers, policy-makers, and exhibitors,” she said.

Maciej Leszek Ryczko, Managing Director of the Poland-based company Polviet.com, said Vietnam remains a promising destination for the industry despite the current difficulties. He believes Inmex Vietnam 2013 will attract the lasting attention of the international maritime market and reflect the Vietnamese maritime industry’s recent positive reforms.

Inmex Vietnam 2013 aims to offer opportunities for maritime businesses to develop fruitful collaborative relationships and to promote Vietnam’s image as a newly emerging market, laden with potential for the Southeast Asian maritime industry.
