Showcasing the Largest Assembly of Maritime Industry Products and Services in Sub-Sahara Africa
The idea for a Nigeria Maritime Conference and Exhibition was conceived by the Indigenous ShipOwners Association of Nigeria (ISAN) now NISA.
It was thought that the time had come for the country to host annually a conference and exhibition. The idea was to ensure that the annual event will bring together all of the industry and the International Shipping Community.
The major reason for this international conference was and still is the networking opportunities. International conferences bring together professionals, researchers, and experts from various fields and countries. These events provide a platform for networking and establishing connections with like-minded individuals, potential collaborators, and investors.
ISAN was convinced that this should be an industryConference to promote Nigeria, its maritime industry , showcase new products, innovations, industry trends and forge business connections.
It was decided that the event would be a mirror of the annual Posedonia.
Posidonia, the international shipping exhibition, has long been established as one of the major calendar events of the shipping industry internationally. Posidonia attracts the most influential personalities from the Greek and international shipping community and major companies and organisations active in all sectors of the shipping industry. The international exhibition Posidonia first took place in 1969 and has been taking place every two years ever since.
