The Gulf is now a major centre for the workboat industry with multi-billion dollar offshore land reclamation development projects running concurrently with major oil and gas projects.
With oil and gas production alone contributing nearly 20 per cent of gross domestic product growth, Bahrain has topped the list of economic growth in the GCC with its focus on the high productivity sectors of finance, marine and manufacturing.
Now, for the first time, Baird Events is bringing an exciting new show to Bahrain catering specifically to the work boat market in the Gulf.
Many of the world's leading designers, builders and suppliers of a wide range of work boat equipment have already signed up for Work Boat Gulf 2009 which will be held from April 6 to 8, 2009, at the Bahrain International Exhibition Centre.
