Sea Asia 2019 Wraps Up With Global Maritime Leaders Preparing Industry For Upcoming Regulations And Global Developments

Apr 30, 2019 Picture:  SINGAPORE, April 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Sea Asia, which took place in Singapore from 9 - 11 April 2019, wrapped up three days of intense discussion with the launch of the third Sea Asia industry insights report, 'Navigating Through Shifting Regulatory and Geopolitical Landscapes in Maritime'. Released today, the report explores how global developments are impacting the maritime industry, and how industry leaders are navigating the shifting regulatory landscape to sail through the moving tides. The popularity of Sea Asia as a leading maritime industry conference and exhibition continues to grow. This edition of Sea Asia featured a record 13 national pavilions, with three new ones from Oman, Poland and Turkey, in addition to those from Singapore, China, Denmark, Holland, Japan, Korea, Norway, Panama, Greece and United Kingdom. Other highlights on the show floor included the Innovation Arena -- a maritime start-up platform presented by Sea Asia in collaboration with PIER71, as well as an additive manufacturing showcase and a virtual reality welding demonstration. More than 40 industry leaders spoke in 11 conference sessions, discussing issues and challenges in the industry, and providing various perspectives from their field of expertise and deep domain knowledge. The event also saw close to 15,000 participants from 80 countries/regions attending the three-day event. The exhibition saw 435 exhibitors spread across two floors of Sands Expo and Convention Centre. Chairman of Seatrade, Informa Markets, Mr Chris Hayman, said: "Sea Asia 2019 provides industry leaders with a valuable opportunity to gather and discuss ways to best navigate through today's complex business environment, and charter the way forward." He shared that it is now more important than ever for players to come together and demonstrate greater collaboration to tackle key challenges such as tighter environmental regulations, increasing competition for talent, and adapting new technology. Chairman of the Singapore Maritime Foundation (SMF), Mr Andreas Sohmen-Pao, noted that the success and relevance of Sea Asia 2019 as an initiative spearheaded by the Singapore Maritime Foundation is now well established. According to the latest Leading Maritime Capitals 2019 report published by Menon Economics and DNV GL, Singapore was named as the world's top maritime capital for the fourth consecutive year. "This recognises that Singapore plays a central role as a hub for people and ideas in the global maritime industry. Sea Asia is an important platform to support this," said Mr Sohmen-Pao. Executive Vice President of UBM Asia Ltd, and Director of Sea Asia 2019, Mr Michael Duck, highlighted that while the industry is concerned with the current threats in maritime due to geopolitical uncertainty, many recognise the growing opportunities in this challenging terrain, and are prepared for the shifting dynamics in the sector. Following the success of Sea Asia 2019, Mr Duck shared that the team is already looking forward to the next edition in 2021, which will be held from 20 - 22 April 2021. "With the ongoing changes in geopolitical landscape, as well as environmental regulations that will come into effect by 2021, we look forward to be the catalyst for industry leaders to continue to drive more thought-provoking discussions on ongoing issues and solutions to navigate the challenging waters ahead," said Mr Duck. The third Sea Asia industry insights report, 'Navigating Through Shifting Regulatory and Geopolitical Landscapes in Maritime' can be downloaded here.
