Asia Pacific Maritime (APM) is the premier marine trade exhibition in the Far East during 2014. APM will be featuring shipbuilding & marine, workboat and offshore segments.

It is particularly strong in showcasing the latest marine equipment, products and services as well as port technology incorporating workboat and offshore technology and services. APM is in its thirteenth year and is a truly maritime business experience embracing not only the exhibition, but conferences and seminars as well as a host of networking sessions that are tailor made to focus quality Asia Pacific buyers with international marine suppliers on a one to one basis.

Leading shipbuilders, ship-repairers and converters from all over Asia will be at the show as well as from other parts of the world. A number of Ship owners, Operators and Ship managers will also be visiting the show with their procurement teams. The organisers (Reed International) spend a lot of time and effort making sure these “buyers” are focused and match the British firms who offer innovative and high-tech equipment and services.

APM combines a comprehensive exhibition, high-powered conferences and seminars, and a host of networking sessions that connect quality Asia Pacific buyers to international maritime suppliers. 

UK EXHIBITORS TRAVEL GRANTS

TAP grants of £3,000 are available to each eligible company joining the UK Group, who are “New to the Event” or £2,500 if not “New to Event”.

As per previous exhibitions, the Society of Maritime Industries is working with Reed International on the conference programme whereby the British firms can also increase their exposure by presenting their high-tech and innovative products and services to a seminar audience at the show.

We are likely to secure funding for a large networking reception to take place at APM one evening (date to be confirmed), hosted by the British High Commissioner (Ambassador) which will be attended by Shipyard personnel, Shipowners and operators. The UK exhibitors will have the opportunity to invite customers or potential customers and their agents to this important networking event.

A one hour complimentary speaking spot for UK innovative and high-tech companies in the APM technical forum lounge. Companies who have booked with SMI will be able to utilise this technical forum time slot to carry out product demo/workshop events inviting clients and potential clients to attend.

Following the success of APM’s Hosted Buyers Programme, the organiser will once again be bringing companies with quality buyers within Asia to meet you at the exhibition.

Innovation way ahead of its time. The Bluefish ZZC+ platform has a total energy harvesting capacity around 176kW (235hp), giving an Energy Harvested to Displacement ratio (EH/D) of 3.52kW/ton (4.72hp/ton).  Larger versions of this format could be the emission free cargo ships of the future.  The sprint speed of this craft on battery reserves will be in the 20+ knot region. Faster speeds of up to 35 knots may be achieved using ancillary fuel cell generation.  The cost of diesel fuel to cruise this ship continuously for a year would be approximately: .29gals/hp x 117 x 24 x 365 = $297,226.80 (£183,393.99) In ten years that would be $2.97M (£1.83M). There is though no fuel cost during normal operations. Fuel for thought!
