Following extensive consultations with its partners, Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH decided to cancel the MARINE INTERIORS Cruise & Ferry Global Expo scheduled for 8 to 10 September 2021, as well as the Seatrade Europe – Cruise and River
Cruise Convention which was supposed to take place in parallel. This is in response to the coronavirus pandemic and its global impact on large-scale events and international travelling.
“The future development of the coronavirus pandemic continues to be unpredictable, as are the resulting bans of international events or the restrictions affecting their execution. This has prompted us to cancel MARINE INTERIORS and Seatrade Europe for this year,” explained
Bernd Aufderheide, President and CEO of Hamburg Messe und Congress. “Contrary to regional events, which can now be held as physical events again, international events such as MARINE INTERIORS and Seatrade Europe continue to be heavily affected by major discrepancies in the severity of the pandemic between individual countries around the world. This drastically reduces the number of potential exhibitors and visitors so that it does not seem advisable to hold both trade events in September 2021,” Aufderheide continued.
Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH now begins to plan for the MARINE INTERIORS@SMM. During the leading international maritime trade fair from 6 to 9 September 2022, an entire exhibition hall and stage will be dedicated to MARINE INTERIORS.
