Sponsor/Exhibit

The IHMA Congress remains the key forum for IHMA members, industry stakeholders, innovators and suppliers across the global ports sector to collaborate, network, share information, and provide updates on the latest industry technology and solutions.

This 3-day conference and exhibition offers sponsors and exhibitors with a unique opportunity to connect, build relationships and do business with the principal decision-makers for global port and marine operations.

In addition to the physical conference and exhibition being held in Kuala Lumpur, the IHMA will host a series of pre-Congress webinars in the lead up to June 2022, providing event partners with additional thought-leadership / presenting opportunities, extended brand exposure and increased networking options.

Host Partner

Port Klang is situated on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, about 40 km from the capital city, Kuala Lumpur. Its proximity to the greater Klang Valley – the commercial and industrial hub of the country as well as the country’s most populous region ensures that the port plays a pivotal role in the economic development of the country. Based on a Government directive in 1993, Port Klang is currently being developed as the National Load Centre and eventually a hub for the region.

With a number of load centering and hubbing strategies pursued since 1993, the facilities and services in Port Klang are now synonymous to those of World class ports. The port has trade connections with over 120 countries and dealings with more than 500 ports around the world. Its ideal geographical location makes it the first port of call for ships on the eastbound leg and the last port of call on the westbound leg of the Far East-Europe trade route.

IHMA 2022 'Draw a Picture' Campaign

IHMA launches, for the second year in a row, a campaign to call attention to the invaluable contribution seafarers make to international trade and the world economy, often at great personal cost to themselves and their families.

Following the success of last year’s campaign in which were received a considerable number of drawings from children all over the world, IHMA is once again calling on the families of its members and of the wider maritime community to help show their support for seafarers by having the young people in their lives draw a picture.

For ideas on what to draw, please see last year’s submissions on the IHMA website at https://www.harbourmaster.org/harbour-master/seafarers.

Drawings can be submitted in electronic form to the following e-mail address: secretary.ihma@harbourmaster.org . Hard copies can be also sent by post to: IHMA, 2 Burgh Mount, Banstead, Surrey, SM7 1ER, United Kingdom.

Drawings received by post will be delivered to seafarers at member ports.
Drawings submitted electronically will be posted on the external IHMA website.
Artists are encouraged to include their names and ages on their work.
The initiative is opened effective immediately until International Day of the Seafarer on 25 June 2022.

27–30 June 2022 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
