Apply for SMM 2026
We’re excited about welcoming you as an exhibitor at the SMM in Hamburg from 1 – 4 September 2026.
Please take a look at the attractive options we have in stock and seize the opportunities offered by the world's #1 platform for the maritime industry.
SMM has returned from the challenges of the Covid period with full strength. The market is moving again, and demand is enormous. I cannot recall a single SMM where the first day of the fair alone was so successful. We can clearly see shipowners making every effort to reduce emissions – and our refitting propellers play an important role in these efforts. Our orderbook is well filled until 2026.

It has always been important for SCHOTTEL to exhibit at SMM, the international maritime industry meeting place. This is where our customers come, and it offers the opportunity to make new contacts and initiate business deals. We very much value discussions with other experts on the challenges and opportunities in the industry, such as sustainability and digitalization.

Watch out for untrustworthy exhibitor directory offers
We are currently observing that more and more letters are being sent to our exhibitors from publishers of unofficial exhibitor directories offering entries in these sub-standard online directories. However, the letters hide long-term payment obligations in the small print. Don't be irritated by this and do not reply to these letters.
Our official partner for all types of directories and related marketing products is NEUREUTER FAIR MEDIA.
