    Africa 2012: Fish & Marine, Oil & Gas industries trade exhibitions

    Fish Update magazine reports that maritime opportunities form the focus of the co-located Fish & Marine Africa 2012 and Oil & Gas Africa 2012 trade exhibitions. According to John Thomson, MD of Exhibition Management Services, organisers of Fish & Marine Africa and co-organiser of Oil & Gas Africa, both trade exhibitions provide extensive international focal points for relevant business and stakeholder networking.

    "The oceans around Africa offer massive potential, from commercial fishing and maritime trade to offshore oil and gas development," he says.

    The exhibitions run simultaneously from 13-15 March 2012 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC). "South Africa has an important strategic role to play in the regional and global maritime sectors," adds Thomson, "the government is starting to recognise the importance of the maritime industry to growth and development in the region, and what needs to be done to support it". Thomson believes that government's commitment to policy change bodes well for stakeholders in the sector.

    The South African maritime industry can soon expect a Green Paper which will address many of the legislative and regulatory developments it has long been lobbying for, according to Deputy Transport Minister Jeremy Cronin. In addition, the signing next year of the Benguela Current Convention, a treaty between Angola, Namibia and South Africa will ensure the long-term conservation, protection, rehabilitation and sustainable use of the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem.
