SMM India 2011 – where the maritime industry meets

SMM is the leading international platform for new maritime technology and innovation, bringing together key decision-makers from the full spectrum of the shipbuilding industry. Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH and INTER ADS Exhibitions Pvt. Ltd. are proud to present the second SMM India.

An impressive 2,800 trade visitors and delegates from 30 nations attended the SMM India premiere in 2009 – with exhibitors from every corner of the globe, showcasing their innovations. Additionally there were numerous ship owners and high-ranking representatives from the Indian shipbuilding industry and shipyards, as well as the Indian Navy and coastguard.
These exceptional facts and figures together with the high-calibre supporting programme have firmly established SMM India in the global shipbuilding industry calendar.

Steeped in a strong shipbuilding tradition, India has become a rapidly growing international force in the maritime industry – making it the ideal venue for SMM. The Indian shipbuilding sector is developing quickly and is expected to grow annually by 30 %. Its share in the world market has soared in the last 5 years and the aim to be no.4 in the world is now within grasp. What’s more, with the exponential increase in the number of ships calling at Indian shipyards, ship-repair facilities are becoming another increasingly attractive opportunity to boost the industry.

SMM India 2011 will be held from 07 – 09 April in Mumbai at the Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC).

India – your gateway to the maritime world

Mumbai is India’s largest city and serves as an economic hub that accounts 25 % of industrial output, 40 % of maritime trade and 70 % of capital transactions in India. Mumbai Port is one of the oldest and most significant ports in India with a well-established, flourishing shipping industry. Its Navy headquarters, coast guard and offshore oilfield make Mumbai a city of strategic importance.

Over the years, Mumbai has transformed itself into a unique, cosmopolitan and fashionable city while its heart still beats with timeless art, culture and heritage.

Indian maritime industry – enjoying the sea change

The Indian shipbuilding industry is on a high growth trajectory and is expected to grow considerably in the next few years. Due to a geographical shift in shipbuilding activities, the sector has become very attractive for India. Indeed, together with shipping and infrastructure, the Indian government has made shipbuilding a strategic industry with large state-supported investment programmes for development. This has opened up huge opportunities for Indian shipyards and both – public and private shipbuilders are taking advantage of them.

Indian shipbuilding is now emerging as an international competitive, export-led industry. Additionally it has already gained a strong foothold in the niche offshore segment. India also leverages the strengths of its IT industry as it sets up new modern shipyards.

SMM India 2011 takes place at the Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC). It is ideally situated along the Western Express Highway in Goregaon, within 10 minutes from the international airport. You will find several excellent hotels, entertainment activities, retail and sightseeing opportunities located nearby.

SMM India 2011 couldn’t provide you a better, more cost-effective means of reaching the maritime community.
