Before you arrive

The requirements for attending Seatrade Maritime Middle East are dependent on your registration type, which are in accordance with Expo 2020 guidelines. You must register for Seatrade Maritime Middle East in advance of your arrival.

You will be required to show full vaccination status, which must have been achieved by 1 October 2021.

You will need to demonstrate that you have had at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine or provide proof of a negative PCR test conducted within the 72 hours of entering the Expo 2020 site.

If you have recieved a full Covid-19 vaccine, you do not need to provide a negative PCR test.

Do you have symptoms?

If you are displaying any symptoms listed on the WHO website, have been asked to self-isolate or live with someone that is also experiencing symptoms then we kindly ask you to take personal accountability and not travel. You will still be able to access the event through the online event portal.

Before arrival to Dubai Exhibition Centre, please ensure you have completed the actions required by your vaccination status.

If you have been double vaccinated, you must bring with you proof of your vaccination status with you, which you will be required to show upon arrival at the Dubai Exhibition Centre in the Public Screening Area.

If you were vaccinated outside of the UAE, you must register your vaccination through the ICA UAE Arrivals.

If you require a negative PCR test result, please bring proof of your status for inspection upon arrival at the Dubai Exhibition Centre in the Public Screening Area. There will be onsite testing facilities in the South Concourse of the Dubai Exhibition Centre.

Please be aware that if you have not been fully vaccinated, you will require a negative PCR test to be allowed access the Dubai Exhibition Centre. 

Onsite measures

Face coverings

Unless you are medically exempt, you will need to wear a face covering during the event and time on the Expo 2020 site.

Space to socially distance

There will be ample space throughout the trade show, conference and networking to allow for social distancing at a minimum space of two metres between individuals.

With widened aisles, multiple places to grab a drink and a bite to eat, as well as space outside the venue to get some fresh air, we want all attendees to feel as comfortable as possible.

Hygiene

Between Expo 2020 and Informa AllSecure standards, you can expect a safe, hygienic experience with regular sanitisation of frequent touch points throughout both the Expo 2020 site and STMME venue.

There will also be multiple hand-sanitiser points.
