By IBI Magazine
The British Marine Federation (BMF) has revealed that more than 36 companies have already signed up for next year's first-ever Mumbai International Boat Show, which runs from February 22-25 at the Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai, India.
Boatbuilders will include Princess Yachts, Sunseeker, Nautor's Swan, Azimut, Ferretti, Bénéteau, Jeanneau, Lagoon, Rodman, Gulfcraft and Cobalt, while boating supplier and support companies include Edmiston, Henri Lloyd, Raymarine, Dixon Yacht Design, C&N Marinas, Peters & May, boatshed.com, Marine Track, Spencer Rigging and Petersen Stainless. There will also be a number of entry-level companies in attendance.
"The BMF is thrilled to be able to support the first ever Mumbai Boat Show," says Toby Allies, director of international development at the BMF. "We have been working closely with the organisers, providing advice based on our experience in the UK of running the Southampton Boat Show and the Collins Stewart London Boat Show. We are delighted that so many British companies have signed up to exhibit in Mumbai."
On February 23, a one-day stakeholder conference attended by politicians and key business people from India and abroad will focus on the continued growth of the leisure marine industry in India. The organiser is also arranging a cricket match between exhibitors — an Indian XI against Rest of the World XI, which will be captained by IBI's very own publishing director, Nick Hopkinson.
