ROTTERDAM, NETHERLANDS - On Wednesday 2 April, World Trade Center Rotterdam was the venue of the biggest career event in the area of maritime and offshore. It was already the 8th edition of the Maritime & Offshore Career Event (MOCE) of Navingo. The event was a huge success, with 4,449 visitors and 131 participating exhibitors. The fair was officially opened by Coen Bouhuys, one of the chosen Young Maritime Representatives. After the opening, company presentations and workshops started. Convincing job applications and personal branding were some of the topics that were discussed.

Popularity of the sector
Working within the maritime and offshore industry is gaining more interest. Organizer Navingo BV not only sees this increase in popularity in the increasing visitor numbers each year, but also in the positive reactions of the exhibitors and visitors. Even Prime Minister Mark Rutte visited MOCE to see what is happening in the industry. In total, MOCE required the entire exhibition floor of WTC Rotterdam and used 10 additional meeting rooms for company presentations and organizational purposes. 

Next year the exhibition will again take place at WTC Rotterdam.
