Ahoy Rotterdam will host the Breakbulk Europe 2025 trade fair from 13th to 15th May 2025, welcoming project cargo and breakbulk professionals. This year, the exhibition will continue to offer the Round Tables setting, which facilitates cross-sectional meetings and fosters idea generation across the entire value chain.Last year, Round Table topics included Decarbonisation, Rates & Capacity, Inclusion in the Industry, and more.
Approximately 600 exhibitors will showcase a selection of their project cargo and breakbulk solutions at Ahoy Rotterdam, influencing key industry trends for the coming buying season. The trade fair anticipates attracting over 9,300 high-calibre visitors from leading industrial sectors, including decision-makers, project owners, and manufacturers.

The exhibition will complement an informative event program featuring professional summits, insightful discussions, and networking opportunities.
