From September 23 to 26, 2025, the Russia St. Petersburg International Maritime and Shipbuilding Exhibition (NEVA 2025) - one of the world's top ten maritime events - was grandly held at the Expoforum Convention and Exhibition Center. Qingdao Luhang Marine Airbag and Fender Co., Ltd. participated in the exhibition with its core products, and a professional team formed by the company's representatives Phoebe Pan, Novid Liu, Fairy Fan, and Roy Zhao fully demonstrated the technological strength of China's marine equipment at this industry feast that gathered participants from more than 30 countries, totaling 35,000 people.
As the largest civil shipbuilding exhibition in Eastern Europe and the post-Soviet region, this year's NEVA Exhibition covered an exhibition area of 40,000 square meters, attracted more than 700 global enterprises to participate, and held over 30 high-end forums and business matching activities simultaneously, becoming a core platform for technical exchanges and cooperation negotiations in the maritime field. Qingdao Luhang focused on displaying three series of star products during the exhibition: EVA solid fenders adopting imported polyurea spraying technology from the United States, inflatable rubber fenders suitable for large ships, and high-strength heavy-lifting airbags that enable efficient ship launching. Their core advantages - strong energy absorption, wide adaptability, and convenient installation - have attracted widespread attention.
"The demand for high-quality marine equipment in the Russian and Eastern European markets is constantly growing, and this participation in the exhibition accurately meets the development needs of the regional market," introduced Phoebe Pan, the participating representative. During the exhibition, the team conducted more than 20 in-depth negotiations with local Russian shipbuilding enterprises and port operation institutions, and reached a number of cooperation intentions on topics such as the adaptation of fender materials in extremely cold environments and the optimization of large ship launching solutions.
Founded in 1988, Qingdao Luhang has built a full-chain system from R&D to services. Its products are exported to more than 40 countries and regions, and it has maintained long-term cooperation with giants such as China State Shipbuilding Corporation. This debut at NEVA 2025 is not only a key step for the company to deepen its layout in the Eastern European market, but also responds to the core purpose of the exhibition - "promoting the development of the shipping industry through international cooperation". Novid Liu, the participating representative, said: "Through the matching meetings and technical forums, we have not only conveyed the innovative achievements of China's marine equipment, but also accurately captured the equipment upgrading needs brought by the development of the Arctic shipping route, which provides an important direction for subsequent technological R&D."
By the closing of the exhibition on September 26, Qingdao Luhang had initially reached cooperation agreements with a number of Russian enterprises. This participation has further consolidated its brand influence in the international marine equipment field and laid a solid foundation for expanding the maritime market along the "Belt and Road" initiative.
