The offshore market is showing stable growth worldwide. So it follows logically that the offshore segment take up more space than in previous years at SMM 2010, with many companies presenting technologies and products from the offshore sector.
All in all there will be some 2,000 exhibitors from all continents at the leading international shipbuilding, machinery and marine technology international trade fair, to be held in Hamburg from September 7 to 10.
There will be a special two-day workshop run by Hamburg Messe in the course of SMM 2010, dedicated to the offshore sectors oil and gas, wind energy and ocean engineering.
Last year, the offshore market proved to be a lot more robust than the shipbuilding sector. It proved to be a segment with outstanding perspectives, as shown by the market analyses from Douglas-Westwood. For the next five years, the experts are predicting continuous growth in offshore operations and maintenance, with worldwide investments of some US$330 billion.
The deepwater oil production sector including repair and maintenance will do better than other sectors, with growth of more than ten percent by 2015, according to information from Thom Payne, an analyst at Douglas-Westwood.
