    Why visit

    Fujian International Maritime Equipment Expo puts shipbuilding, offshore and port supply chains on one floor, so you can compare machinery, components and marine systems in person rather than through catalogues. The 16 exhibition areas give buyers a practical route from heavy equipment such as deck machinery and propulsion to marine electrical systems, coatings, safety gear and harbour equipment. Technical staff from Chinese yards and equipment makers are the right.

    Why exhibit

    Exhibitors will have the opportunity to showcase their products to a targeted audience of industry professionals, gain visibility in the marine equipment market, and establish valuable connections with potential buyers and partners. Attendees will include industry professionals, maritime engineers, and procurement specialists from the marine equipment sector. Registration is available online for both visitors and exhibitors.

    Plan your trip

    Visa & entry documents

    Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.

    Visa not required
    ATA Carnet: check with organiser

    Weather

    Fuzhou in October is mild and can be humid, with daytime temperatures typically in the 20s Celsius and occasional rain. Check a short-range forecast before travelling and carry a light rain layer for the walk between halls and transport.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Mobile coverage in Fuzhou is generally strong; arrange roaming or a local SIM before arrival. Venue WiFi availability should be confirmed with the organiser for exhibitor stand connectivity needs.

    Ride-hailing

    Taxis

    Public transit

    Car rentals

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Business language

    Mandarin is the working language at the venue and in most Fuzhou business meetings. English is common at international hotels but less reliable with taxi drivers, local suppliers and stand staff, so use a translation app and keep key questions written in Chinese.

    Business cards and greetings

    Bring plenty of business cards and present them with both hands. A handshake is standard in business settings; use family name plus title where possible, and allow senior colleagues to lead introductions at meetings or banquets.

    Payments

    The local currency is the Chinese yuan (CNY). Alipay and WeChat Pay dominate everyday payments, while international cards are more reliably accepted at hotels and larger restaurants. Keep some cash for taxis, small vendors and transit.

    Fuzhou context

    Fuzhou is the capital of Fujian and is known for jasmine tea, coastal seafood and hot springs. The venue sits in the Cangshan district near Fuzhou South Railway Station, so allow extra time for the airport expressway and city traffic during peak hours.

    Tipping and bargaining

    Tipping is not customary in taxis, restaurants or hotels, though upscale venues may add a service charge. Bargaining is not expected in hotels or formal retail, but it can be part of local market shopping.

    On-site practicalities

    Carry your passport and registration confirmation for badge checks, and arrive early on the first show day for security screening. Chinese venue addresses are more useful to drivers than English names, so save the FSICEC name in Chinese characters on your phone.
