“SMM is the first maritime trade fair globally to turn the spotlight on “Industry 4.0”. This theme harbours enormous potential for the shipping industry,” said Dr Alexander Nürnberg, Chairman of the Board of the Marine Equipment and Systems working group at the German Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA). Another major topic addressed by this year’s event was Green Propulsion. The fair organisers had erected a dedicated, 3,500 square metre exhibition hall to feature relevant products and services. The new hall had been completely booked several weeks ahead of the beginning of the fair.
According to an independent survey, 96 per cent of responding visitors said they found the fair “good” or “very good”. 93 per cent said they would gladly recommend SMM. 82 per cent of respondents are involved in key decision-making processes at their companies, according to the survey. 56 per cent confirmed that the objective of their fair visit was to establish business contacts. As recently as 2014, that value had only been 44 per cent. In spite of the crisis, the number of participants reached the level of the previous SMM fair. SMM 2016 was able to maintain the high percentage of international visitors achieved in 2014, which was 46 per cent, with 23 per cent of foreign visitors hailing from Scandinavian countries, followed by Asia (including Near and Middle Eastern countries) at 19 per cent.
The SMM conference programme once again set a new standard. High profile speakers had been recruited to address the fair’s key topics, from future trends (Maritime Future Summit) and environment protection (gmec) to security and defence (MS&D), through to the offshore segment (Offshore Dialog). The next SMM, the leading international maritime trade fair, will take place from 4 to 7 September 2018.
