In June 2023, the Libya Maritime Forum & Expo is set to take place in Tripoli, organized by the esteemed member of the Euro-Libyan Trade Center Hormuz Events. This much-anticipated event is set to bring together a diverse range of professionals, experts, and stakeholders from both the public and private sectors, to discuss the pressing needs and future opportunities in the maritime industry. The three-day event is designed to facilitate dynamic and engaging discussions that will focus on addressing the most pertinent issues facing the sector, whilst highlighting the endless opportunities that exist for growth and development. The following are some of its highlights:

Connecting Libya to the World
Libya’s geographic location at the crossroads of the Mediterranean and Africa, coupled with its extensive coastline, makes it a prime location for the maritime industry. The country’s largest ports, Tripoli, Misrata and Benghazi, handle most of the country’s maritime trade, while other ports such as Marsa al Elbrega have significant potential for expansion.

The fisheries sector is another area of untapped potential in Libya, with its long coastline and abundant marine resources. The country’s fishing industry has historically been focused on small-scale, artisanal fishing, but with modernization and investment, there is significant potential for growth in commercial fisheries.

Logistics and transportation are also key areas of opportunity for the Libyan maritime industry, with the potential to improve connectivity within the country and beyond. The development of modern, efficient transport infrastructure will not only benefit the maritime industry but also contribute to the country’s economic development overall.

The Libya Maritime Forum & Expo 2023 will provide a platform for stakeholders to discuss these and other opportunities in the maritime industry. With a range of industry experts, professionals, and policymakers in attendance, the event promises to be a hub of knowledge-sharing and networking.
