From 1 to 4 September 2026, the maritime industry will gather in Hamburg for SMM, the world’s leading trade fair for shipbuilding, machinery and marine technology.
As a trusted partner to the shipbuilding industry, ArcelorMittal provides steel solutions for a wide range of maritime applications. Our heavy plates have been selected for numerous shipbuilding projects, while XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel can help reduce the carbon footprint of your projects by up to 70%.
Approved by all major certification bodies, our shipbuilding grades are designed to meet demanding performance requirements, including when operating in challenging environments such as Arctic and deep-sea conditions.
This year, Denis Parein, Commercial Head Heavy Plates, and Lisa Wouters, Account Manager Heavy Plates, will attend SMM as visitors. Whether you are looking for a reliable steel partner, discussing an upcoming shipbuilding project, or exploring low carbon-emissions steel solutions, they would be delighted to meet you.
“SMM brings together the people shaping the future of maritime. I look forward to discussing practical pathways to decarbonisation and exploring how innovative materials, including low carbon-emissions steel, can contribute to more sustainable vessels.”
Lisa Wouters, Account Manager Heavy Plates
