TEMA: DANISH MARITIME FAIR / WMTC
BY PETER BRANDI
TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE Scheduled events have been canceled or relocated all over the world, to the annoyance of all parties. But sometimes it has also turned up new opportunities. Such an opportunity has shown itself to The Danish Maritime Fair and the World Maritime Technology Conference.
TWO MAJOR MARITIME EVENTS ARE NOW COMBINED IN 2022 As it happened both The Danish Maritime Fair (DMF) and the World Maritime Technology Conference (WMTC) had rescheduled their exhibition and conference to be held in Copenhagen within a 3-week week period in 2022. So, it was an advantage for all parties, to join forces and hold both events at the same time. Doing so entails obvious benefits, to both exhibitors and visitors. So, both DMF and WMTC will be held at the Tivoli Hotel & Congress Center in Copenhagen from the 26th to the 28th of April 2022.

WMTC The World Maritime Technology Conference is the world’s leading technology conference where professionals from the world’s maritime industry, including ship architects, ship engineers, decision-makers, designers, shipbuilding companies, and shipowners from primarily Europe, the United States, and Asia will meet. The conference was first held in 2003 and has since recurred every three years, most recently in 2018 in Shanghai, China. The conference in Copenhagen should have been held in 2021 but was rescheduled to 2022 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

can experience conference tracks, more than 150 academic articles along activities for students while enjoying an exhibition of all the latest in maritime technology. In the preface, WMTC mentions, among other things, the major challenges inherent in eliminating CO² emissions and other pollution, but the conference will also deal with the vulnerability to cyber-attacks, and the great shortage of adequately trained workforce. DMF DMF is a maritime exhibition focusing on the Scandinavian market, and covers the entire spectrum of maritime sectors, from land-based industries over authorities to shipping in the broadest sense.
