Officials at a previous edition of the UAE Maritime Week

Three major events – Seatrade Offshore Marine & Workboats; Seatrade Shiptech; and Seatrade Maritime Awards Middle East, Indian Subcontinent & Africa – will be held during UAE Maritime Week 2019, scheduled to be held in September.

The maritime-led week of activities also includes several other associated shipping and maritime events and the popular Dubai Maritime Agenda – a Dubai Maritime Cluster Office biennial event.

UAE Maritime Week is held under the patronage of HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and chairman of the Executive Council.

Many of the week’s activities will be centred around the Madinat Jumeirah, starting with the Dubai Maritime Agenda on September 22 and the Seatrade Maritime Awards that evening.

Seatrade Offshore Marine and Workboats Middle East will then take place on September 23 and 24, co-locating with Seatrade Shiptech Middle East – also held at the Madinat Jumeirah.

According to Chris Morley, event director – Seatrade Maritime, Informa Markets, the decision to align Seatrade Offshore Marine & Workboats Middle East with UAE Maritime Week was to ensure it was part of this important industry week and alongside other Seatrade events.

“The Seatrade brand has long supported the maritime industry in the region and we are delighted to be working again with Dubai Maritime City Authority and Dubai Maritime Cluster Office to bring several world-class events to this critical week,” he added.

Seatrade Offshore Marine & Workboats Middle East centres around a world-class exhibition alongside a comprehensive conference programme with a list of internationally influential speakers.
