Outward Mission to Croatia March 28 - April 5 2009

The British Marine Federation (BMF) is organising a tour of major boat yards in Split, Croatia to coincide with the Split Boat Show which takes place from 28 March - 5 April 2009.

The tour aims to facilitate the development of trade links between the UK and the Croatian marine industry.  The objective is to familiarise companies with how Croatian yards work, their buying patterns and procedures, and to assist companies in developing relationships. The tour will provide a useful insight into the Croatian market and provide access to key industry players.
