Posidonia 2024 has already gone down in history as the best-attended in the biennial event’s 55 years of existence, and organisers are already busy receiving enquiries and pre-registration applications for the next event, scheduled for 1-5 June 2026. Having broken all previous records in terms of exhibition space, number of exhibitors and visitors, Posidonia 2024 was also the place where the maritime world came together once again to finalise and confirm highly lucrative new business deals or announce previously signed contracts. One such occasion was the showstopper announcement of Navig8’s tanker fleet and pool business being taken over by ADNOC L&S in a reported $1.
5bn deal that was made public during Posidonia 2024. Theodore Vokos, Managing Director of Posidonia Exhibitions S.A.
, said: “It is humbling to witness such a strong response to Posidonia 2024 by the global shipping and maritime community. Every sector of the marine economy and all shipping associations gathered once again in high volumes and high spirits to showcase innovations, network, do business, discuss, and debate the future of the industry. From shipyards to shipowners, ship registries to ship chandlers, classification societies, propulsion system manufacturers, energy providers, software developers, trading, brokerage, legal, consultancy, and financing firms, everyone was here again for two weeks to work and play in true Posidonia fashion.
” Exhibitor comments came flooding in soon after the gates.
