UAE Maritime Week 2027

UAE Maritime Week is a week-long programme for maritime and integrated supply chain logistics professionals, organised by Informa Markets under the patronage of the UAE Minister of Energy and Infrastructure. The 2027 edition runs from 3 to 7 May in Dubai, with most events, including its flagship Seatrade Maritime UAE exhibition and conference, held at Dubai World Trade Centre.

Seatrade Maritime UAE

The centrepiece of the week is Seatrade Maritime UAE (formerly Seatrade Maritime Logistics Middle East), held from 4 to 6 May 2027 in Za'abeel Halls 5 and 6 at Dubai World Trade Centre. It combines an exhibition of global equipment and service suppliers with a conference where industry leaders and experts discuss the challenges facing shipping and logistics. For 2027 the organiser expects more than 10,000 attendees from over 90 countries, 150+ speakers and 150+ exhibitors.

Leadership forums and facility tours

Around the show, the Seatrade Maritime Club and the Maritime Leaders Forum host private round-table discussions for senior executives, and private tours visit some of the UAE's major maritime facilities. Some leadership forums and tours are by application or invitation only.

Who attends

The week is aimed at active and aspiring maritime and logistics professionals, particularly those whose business relies on the UAE as an operating or commercial hub. Suppliers of products and services to the shipping and logistics sectors exhibit at Seatrade Maritime UAE, and students are welcome at some of the events.
