Brief Introduction of Asia Pacific Maritime

Asia Pacific Maritime (APM) 2025 is one of the region's premier maritime exhibitions held biennially in Singapore. The 18th edition will feature 1,500+ exhibiting companies from 60 countries across 50,000 square meters at Marina Bay Sands, attracting 15,000 visitors from 80 countries. APM combines a comprehensive exhibition with conferences addressing industry challenges including decarbonization, digitalization, and operational efficiency in shipping.

Brief History of Asia Pacific Maritime

Established in 1990 with 100 exhibitors, APM has evolved from a regional equipment showcase to a global maritime platform. Key milestones include expansion to include marine engineering in the late 1990s, introduction of country pavilions in 2006, and strategic repositioning after the 2008 financial crisis. Between 2010-2015, APM incorporated digital technology and green shipping solutions. After pandemic disruptions, APM returned to full physical presence in 2023, reinforcing its position as a key maritime business platform in Asia.
