This new Meet the Buyer event at Seawork 2026 is co-hosted by SMI's Workboat Working Group and the Workboat Association.

Meet the Buyers: Owner-Led insights for the Workboat Supply Chain takes place Thursday 11th June 2026 from 10.30-11.30 in Conference Room 1 at Seawork 2026.

The event will enable delegates to hear directly from workboat operators sharing real-world perspectives on technical investment and expansion plans. There will not be formal presentations or sales pitches, just open, honest dialogue to improve early engagement, strengthen partnerships and support better procurement outcomes. 

If you have a product that meets an operator's needs, an idea that needs the right vessel-owning partner, or you're simply looking for your next opportunity, this could be a valuable session to attend.
