38 Maritime Reporter & Engineering News A merger between Europort and Rotterdam Maritime brings the newly titled Europort Maritime, the largest maritime trade show in Netherlands his- tory, to Rotterdam, The Netherlands, November 1-5, 2005. By expanding exhibition space to accommodate more than 700 exhibitors from different branches of the maritime field, Europort Maritime offers the experience of multi- ple shows with the convenience of one location. Additionally, the show prom- ises an easy-going atmosphere more akin to a meeting of colleagues than competitors. Highlights include the day-long Mare Forum, a workshop unit- ing members of all parts of the maritime community to talk and debate the prob- lems facing the technical side of ship- ping. The forum is unique in that it consists not of long speeches, but instead gives all attendees a chance to share their viewpoints. 1-5 November 2005 at Ahoy’ Rotterdam, The Netherlands Register now at www.europortmaritime.com for your free entrance New opening hours Tuesday 1 November: 11.00 - 18.00 hours Wednesday 2 November: 11.00 - 22.00 hours Thursday 3 November: 11.00 - 22.00 hours Friday 4 November: 11.00 - 18.00 hours Saturday 5 November: 10.00 - 17.00 hours Meet relations.
