What our 2023 attendees said

"Extremely well-organized with top-notch speakers

The congress was extremely well-organized, and the speakers were all top-notch. I learned a great deal about the latest trends in the maritime industry, and I was able to network with some of the most influential people in the field. I am confident that these new connections will help me to grow my business in the years to come."

"Lots of relevant service providers and manufacturers

It was a great opportunity to visit lots of relevant service providers & manufacturers at the same place in order to communicate & establish new relations as well as creating new business opportunities in future. The congress was a very good platform to achieve these goals in very short span of time  & under one roof."

"A thoroughly professional, and very engaging Congress

As a representative of one of the world's largest and longest-established agencies in seafarers' welfare, we were really pleased to have many positive engagements with potential partners across the maritime sector of Saudi Arabia, in prospect of development of new service centres into one or more KSA ports, in due course."

"People from all around Saudi Arabia & the world are in the Congress

A great congress, Definitely got to know more people for business, strategies and the most amazing thing is that people from all around Saudi Arabia & the world are in the congress. Saw companies from Japan, Holland, Switzerland and this shows how business is growing in KSA."
