GEAR | Seawork 2024 exhibition to introduce national pavilions for overseas partners

More than a quarter of last year’s exhibitors to Seawork were from overseas, with 20 per cent from Europe and the rest from around the globe. To reflect the growing number of overseas friends and competitors booking stands or registering attendance, Seawork and Marine Civils will be welcoming National Pavilions this year.

The Dutch Pavilion, a 25-square-metre stand hosted by Netherlands Marine Technology, has already confirmed a number of exhibiting companies including ESTFloattech, VDL Klima, Bachmann, Bayards Marine Structures, Rotterdam Ship Repair, VABO Composites, Next Generation Shipyards, and Royal Roos.

Seawork 2024 will also welcome the 36-square-metre Italian Pavilion. This is organised by the Italian Marine Industry Association Confindustria Nautica, a national non-profit institution that has been representing the Italian yachting supply chain on a national and international level since 1967.

The Italian Pavilion will showcase the following exhibitors: ABI Trailers (heavy transport equipment – trailers); F.Lli Razeto and Casareto (boat door accessories, handles, locks and on-board hardware); Gianneschi (marine pumps and blowers); Veleria San Giorgio (lifejackets and safety equipment).

Seawork 2024 will be celebrating its 25th anniversary on June 11 to 13, 2024 in Southampton, UK. It is supported online by Seawork.com, which is now open for business 365 days a year.
