Seatrade Again this year, Blue Water participated in the Seatrade Cruise Exhibition in Miami, Florida, USA. This year, we had representatives from Holland, Spain, USA and Denmark. The exhibition turned out to be a great success, despite the ”famous” recession. We had lots of people visiting our stand during the three-day exhibition - clients, agents and suppliers
of the cruise industry and also our good client Holland America Line. According to tradition, Blue Water arranged transport and coordination of the stand material for the Danish exhibitors, who were all part of the collective stand of the Danish Exporters’ Association, Furthermore, transport for Wonderful Copenhagen, Dutch and English vendors were arranged through Blue Water.
