METSTRADE & IBEX: All About Marinas

Development and growth in the marina sector continue apace, fuelling the popularity of industry forums such as the Marina & Yard Pavilion (MYP) at the METSTRADE Show in Amsterdam.

In 2016 the Marina & Yard Pavilion also hosted the ICOMIA World Marinas Conference, attended by marina professionals from all over the world gathering to network with peers and discuss the future of the burgeoning marina industry.

The Marina & Yard Pavilion has grown substantially over the past four years, hosting 64 exhibitors in 2016, showcasing marina specific equipment from pontoon and boat mooring systems, hoists, cranes and trailers, to management software and safety equipment. 

At METSTRADE 2017, from 14-16 November in the RAI Amsterdam, MYP will feature the Marina Symposium together with HISWA Holland Association, providing the perfect platform to discover and share the latest developments in the marina industry.
