This September, a powerful network of influencers and innovators came together in Dubai at Seatrade Offshore Marine and Workboats Middle East 2019.
Over the course of two exciting days, we saw leading experts and analysts impart their wisdom across a strategic agenda, while a gathering of active industry suppliers and service providers created a unique arena to do business. While the offshore marine market looks to the future with caution, #SOMWME once again showcased an industry capable of just surving, but thriving.
Thank you to each attendee, exhibitor and sponsor who supported #SOMWME 2019. More information about the next edition will be released shortly.
Seatrade Offshore Marine and Workboats Middle East (SOMWME) brings together each and every corner of the global offshore vessel market for a two-day trade show and conference. Taking place at Madinat Jumeirah Conference & Events Centre in Dubai, the event is the ideal platform for offshore marine vessel owners and operators to meet with the entire supply chain and provides the ultimate forum for all to learn from some of the industry's leading influencers across a range of key market themes.
Whether you’re looking to discover new business ventures within the international exhibition hall; create new relationships across our dedicated networking programme or build your knowledge through the CPD-accredited conference agenda, SOMWME is your arena to do it all.

Back in 2008, a small workboat-focused show made its debut. Since then, that small show has grown in size and expanded in nature; making SOMWME one of the most critical arenas for the global offshore marine market to meet, do business and connect.
This year, we’ve moved to Dubai, become part of UAE Maritime Week and taken the event back to our roots – meaning SOMWME now has a dedicated focus on offshore marine vessels and workboats.
Seatrade Offshore Marine and Workboats forms part of UAE Maritime Week 2019, which is held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council.
UAE Maritime Week gathers the world’s most influential maritime professionals to the region as a series of conferences, networking and business-building events take place.

This show personifies high probability clients rather than just the number game. I dare say that it is the quickest way to put a finger to the pulse of the Middle East workboat market
