SINAVAL 2027 in Bilbao: naval and port trade fair

SINAVAL is Spain's leading international trade fair for the maritime sector, covering shipbuilding, port industries, commercial fishing and ocean energy. The 2027 edition takes place at Bilbao Exhibition Centre in Barakaldo, on the banks of the Nervión estuary — a strategic location for shipowners, shipyards, engineering firms and suppliers across the Atlantic seaboard. Over two days, the show brings together professionals from the naval industry, port logistics, cargo handling and storage, with a programme focused on business, technology partnerships and innovation in marine renewables. Its biennial format has made it a must-attend event for companies operating in the Bay of Biscay and along European shipping routes. For attendees, SINAVAL 2027 is also a chance to stay in Bilbao and enjoy the city's cultural and gastronomic scene, just a short metro or car ride from the venue. Booking accommodation early is strongly recommended, as overlapping trade events at the same venue can reduce hotel availability on those dates.
