Trixee Loh, General Manager for Exhibitions, Dubai World Trade Centre, organiser of DIBS, said:

"Through aggressive marketing and significant participation in exhibitions and conferences around the world, DMC has already established itself as a global brand in the international maritime industry. By acting as platinum sponsor of both DIBS 2008 and DIBS 2009, DMC is now able to increase their exposure and visibility at one of the world's biggest and best international boat shows."


DIBS continues to attract a strong number of local and international visitors year-on-year, making it one of the most important events of its kind for industry leaders to extend their offerings to customers from around the world.

A world-class development for supplying, servicing and refitting leisure boats in the region, DMC is set to become one of the region's most important maritime developments. In addition, the DMC project has the potential to transform Dubai into one of the world's top maritime clusters based on its fast progression and its first-of-its-kind integrated maritime concept.

Nawfal Al-Jourani, CMO of DMC, said: "As the world's first purpose-built maritime centre, DMC will be the main supply, service and refit centre for leisure boats as well as industrial vessels, supported by our world-class facilities, infrastructure, and services to offer the global maritime industry everything it needs in one unique location. Being one of the fastest growing leisure marine industry exhibitions in the world, DIBS is an excellent opportunity for us to establish a closer connection with marine enthusiasts and take a leading role in the growth of one of the region's most exciting industries."

DMC capitalises on the strengths of Dubai as a regional and international hub for trade and commerce, redefining the global maritime industry. It will provide a strategic location for the maritime industry sectors across the full spectrum of maritime business - maritime management, maritime services, maritime retail and recreation, maritime education and research, ship repair and maintenance, yacht repair and maintenance.

When completed, DMC will be an unprecedented, vibrant mixed use development for the maritime industry, comprising industrial, commercial, residential and leisure facilities housed on a man-made peninsula between Port Rashid and Dubai Dry Docks. By offering world-class infrastructure, services and regulations, DMC will create a unique specialised environment that promotes the networking and integration of leading maritime companies in one destination.
