Asia's premier maritime conference and exhibition, Sea Asia 2011, returned for its third edition this year. Staged at Marina Bay Sands for the first time, Sea Asia
2011 is the largest show ever, with more than 12,000 shipping professionals participating in the maritime conference and exhibition that takes place once every
two years.
As one of the anchor events of the Singapore Maritime Week, the three-day event drew a high record of 12,167 participants, exceeding the attendance figure of 10,186
participants in the Sea Asia 2009 show. The Sea Asia conference sessions also saw an increase in the number of participants.
The opening ceremony of Sea Asia 2011 was graced by over 600 overseas and local maritime luminaries. Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence,
Mr Teo Chee Hean, officiated the launch and subsequently toured the exhibition.
The next Sea Asia is expected to take place on 9 - 11 April 2013 in Singapore.
