Maritime Career Market | 7 + 8 September 2026

The sea is always a good idea. So is a career.

 

Are you interested in the sea, ships, and modern technologies? Do you want to work in a team that makes a real difference together and is constantly discovering new things.

Then the maritime industry is well worth a look. Hardly any other sector is as diverse and international: over 90% of global trade is transported by sea. At the same time, it connects people with their destinations and enables research in some of the most fascinating regions on our planet.

Whether on land or at sea, the maritime world offers a wide range of career opportunities. Especially now: on the path toward “green shipping,” the industry is becoming more sustainable, more digital, and more closely connected with fields such as renewable energy.

If you are looking for a career with a future—one in which you can actively help shape what comes next—you’ve come to the right place.

Training. Academic study. Job profiles.

The Maritime Career Market offers you a varied programme: here, leading companies and universities will inform you about future-oriented training and study opportunities. No other career fairs presents the maritime industry as comprehensively as this one.  

The Career Forum provides exciting insights into various topics - from job profiles and starting salaries to work-life balance and on-the-job training opportunities. You can get a good feel for what a maritime career can offer you here.
