Leading stakeholders in the global maritime industry will reunite at SMM Hamburg 2022. The biennial trade show had to skip its last regular edition and held a special digital event in 2021 in response to the health risks and public event restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. SMM 2022 will mark a return to the regular fair appointments. Its dates – 6 to 9 September 2022 – are eagerly awaited as the next major meeting for the industry in the key maritime hub of Hamburg.

With over 2,200 exhibitors and about 50,000 visitors from all over the world, SMM is a central platform for the industry. The exhibition includes offers from the areas of naval vessels, shipyard installations and equipment, cargo handling, monitoring and navigation systems, electronics and marine technologies, as well as assorted maritime services. The four days of the fair present multiple opportunities for the gathering insights, networking, cementing business deals and contributing to debates with the thought leaders in this sector.

Not only attended by top shipbuilders and key market players from across the full value chain, SMM Hamburg 2022 will once again allow for professionals to connect with government representatives and the scientific community.
