The Corporate and Maritime Administrator of the Republic will be taking part in the event, at the Dubai World Trade Centre from December 6-8, to promote the Marshall Islands' Corporate and Maritime Registers - International Registries Inc.
"The Middle East is a growing market for the shipping industry," said William R. Gallagher, President, International Registries Inc. "We are a first time participant at Seatrade and our main reason for attending is to promote our services and introduce the Marshall Islands Registries.
"We are hoping to meet all sectors of the maritime industry that have any influence on where a vessel is flagged by its owner. Future links with the Middle East hinge largely on the response the Republic, which lies midway between Hawaii and Australia, receives at Seatrade," said Gallagher.
"Expansion into the region will be depend on the type and amount of business that we can generate in the future. We already have a number of clients that trade in, or operate from, the Middle East."
To date, exhibitors from 12 countries have registered for Seatrade Middle East Maritime, the region's leading exhibition and conference for the shipping and associated industries, which has pavilion commitments from Iran, India and Pakistan.
