The 17th International Shipbuilding,Marine Equipment and Offshore Engineering Exhibition China is about to kick off. As one of the most influential international maritime events in Northeast Asia, this exhibition will gather cutting-edge technologies, innovative equipment and solutions from the global shipbuilding industry, and build a platform for in-depth exchanges and practical cooperation among upstream and downstream players in the industrial chain.

As a key member in the global maritime industry, Russia boasts extensive market demand and solid industrial foundations in ocean‑going shipping, vessel operation & maintenance, offshore engineering and port construction. Its strengths are highly complementary to the maritime industry in Northeast China, opening up enormous room for cooperation.

The  Russian delegation  brings together professional purchasers and seasoned industry practitioners across maritime equipment procurement, shipping enterprise operation, offshore engineering construction, technology R&D and application. They carry well‑defined procurement requirements, mature cooperation systems and abundant industrial resources. Delegation members will take full‑part in the exhibition, inspect core products, cutting‑edge technologies and innovative solutions from exhibitors, and gain first‑hand insight into China’s industrial strengths and production capacity in shipbuilding, smart maritime equipment, green energy‑saving technologies and marine components.

During the exhibition, the Russian delegation will conduct one‑on‑one targeted business matchmaking on‑site. Through industrial forums and supply‑demand matching events, they will hold in‑depth consultations with Chinese exhibitors and industry institutions on product procurement, technical cooperation, joint project development, resource sharing and cross‑border trade. Focus areas include import and export of marine equipment, technological upgrading of offshore facilities, green shipping solutions and coordinated development of port logistics. The group aims to unlock new bilateral trade opportunities, explore new models for industrial collaboration, and advance the deep integration of China‑Russia maritime industrial, supply and innovation chains. Representatives from multiple leading and backbone Russian shipyards are among the delegation, featuring strong corporate capabilities and diversified cooperation demands.
