This edition is going to take place in Rotterdam, Netherlands at the Ahoy Rotterdam. The organiser for the event is ITE Group PLC and the duration of each edition is three days. As to what trade visitors are able to see displayed in the halls – we’re talking the entire value chain from transport facilities and freight transport systems to transport technology. It’s the linchpin for the European sector and one event you can’t afford to dismiss for your business.
Attending Breakbulk Europe provides you with a chance to meet and network with ocean carriers, freight forwarders, ports/terminals, logistics providers, ground transportation, heavy air, export packers and equipment companies. The professional profile of visitors is also as rich and varied – from experts and engineers to investors and buyers. We also have to emphasize on the importance of passing know-how and skills down through an education program, consisting of workshops, mini-seminars and sessions.
