INAMARINE 2027 to Strengthen Indonesia's Maritime Technology and Supply-Chain Ecosystem

Jakarta, Indonesia: Indonesia’s maritime sector is entering a period of strategic development as the country works to strengthen domestic shipbuilding capabilities, maritime infrastructure, and sea-based connectivity. Against this backdrop, INAMARINE 2027 will return from July 27–29, 2027, at JIExpo Kemayoran in Jakarta, bringing together shipbuilders, ship owners, offshore companies, marine technology providers, port operators, logistics organizations, and other industry stakeholders. 

The 2027 edition will build on the previous event’s international participation and will provide a business-to-business platform for sourcing technologies, exchanging industry knowledge, and developing partnerships across the maritime value chain. The exhibition is planned to be larger than the previous edition, with a focus on technologies supporting shipbuilding, ship repair, offshore operations, ports, maritime transportation, and logistics.

A significant backdrop to the event is Indonesia’s ongoing effort to strengthen its national maritime industrial capacity. The government is working on a new roadmap intended to clarify responsibilities within the domestic shipbuilding sector, with PT PAL expected to focus primarily on defense and military shipbuilding while other facilities can support civilian requirements. The framework is intended to create a stronger foundation for the country's wider maritime industry.

Technology will remain central to INAMARINE 2027. The exhibition will cover marine engines, propulsion systems, navigation and communication technologies, electrical and electronic systems, cargo-handling equipment, dredging solutions, port technology, shipyard equipment, and ship repair and conversion technologies. Safety, security, marine certification, paints and coatings, and offshore technologies will also form part of the exhibition scope.

The event's broad technology coverage reflects the increasingly integrated nature of maritime logistics. Shipyards and operators are looking beyond individual equipment upgrades toward connected systems that can improve vessel performance, operational visibility, maintenance, safety, and supply-chain efficiency. Digital technologies and improved communication systems can also support smarter port and shipping operations as maritime networks become more data-driven.

INAMARINE 2027 will take place alongside complementary events including INAWELDING and INACOATING, creating a broader industrial platform covering shipbuilding, welding, coatings, offshore applications, and related technologies. This co-location allows visitors to explore solutions across several stages of vessel construction, maintenance, and maritime infrastructure development.

The exhibition is expected to attract a diverse professional audience, including shipbuilders, shipping companies, ship owners and operators, naval architects, offshore businesses, port authorities, logistics providers, government agencies, marine engineers, distributors, and technology suppliers.

For international suppliers, the event provides an opportunity to engage with Indonesia's maritime ecosystem as the country continues investing in connectivity and maritime infrastructure. For local operators and shipyards, it provides access to global technologies and potential partners across equipment, engineering, safety, and digital systems.

As Indonesia develops its maritime industrial capabilities, closer collaboration between government stakeholders, shipyards, technology companies, and logistics providers will be important for translating policy objectives into operational capacity. INAMARINE 2027 will provide a dedicated environment for these stakeholders to exchange expertise, evaluate technologies, and explore opportunities across the evolving maritime supply chain.

Logistics Tech Outlook highlights technologies transforming transportation, logistics, supply chains, and industrial infrastructure. Through coverage of INAMARINE 2027, the publication examines how maritime technology, shipbuilding capabilities, port infrastructure, and connected logistics systems are shaping the future of regional and global trade.
