Between September 23 and 26, 2025, the Russia St. Petersburg International Maritime and Shipbuilding Exhibition (NEVA 2025) - recognized as one of the world's top ten maritime events - was held in grand style at the ExpoForum Convention and Exhibition Center. Qingdao Luhang Marine Airbag and Fender Co., Ltd. brought its core products to the exhibition. A professional team consisting of the company's representatives, Phoebe Pan, Novid Liu, Fairy Fan, and Roy Zhao, fully showcased the technological might of China's marine equipment at this industry gathering. The event attracted participants from over 30 countries, with a total of 35,000 people in attendance.

This year's NEVA Exhibition, being the largest civil shipbuilding exhibition in Eastern Europe and the post - Soviet region, occupied an exhibition space of 40,000 square meters. It managed to draw more than 700 enterprises from around the globe. Simultaneously, it hosted upwards of 30 high - end forums and business matching activities, thereby emerging as a pivotal platform for technical exchanges and cooperation negotiations within the maritime sector.

During the exhibition, Qingdao Luhang spotlighted three series of its star products. These included EVA solid fenders that incorporated imported polyurea spraying technology from the United States, inflatable rubber fenders designed for large ships, and high - strength heavy - lifting airbags that facilitated efficient ship launching. The key features of these products - strong energy absorption capabilities, broad adaptability, and ease of installation - caught the widespread attention of the attendees.

Phoebe Pan , the participating representative, explained, "The demand for high - quality marine equipment in the Russian and Eastern European markets has been on the continuous rise. Our participation in this exhibition precisely caters to the development requirements of the regional market." Throughout the exhibition, the team engaged in over 20 in - depth discussions with local Russian shipbuilding enterprises and port operation institutions. As a result, they reached several cooperation intentions regarding various topics, such as the adaptation of fender materials to extremely cold environments and the optimization of large ship launching plans.

Established in 1988, Qingdao Luhang has established an integrated full - chain system that encompasses everything from research and development to after - sales services. The company's products have found their way to over 40 countries and regions around the world. Moreover, it has sustained long - term partnerships with industry giants like China State Shipbuilding Corporation.

This marked the first time Qingdao Luhang participated in the NEVA 2025 exhibition. This step is not merely crucial for the company to strengthen its presence in the Eastern European market. It also aligns perfectly with the exhibition's core mission of "fostering the development of the shipping industry through international cooperation."

Novid Liu, one of the participating representatives, commented, "During the matching meetings and technical forums, we not only presented the innovative achievements of China's marine equipment but also precisely identified the equipment upgrading requirements arising from the development of the Arctic shipping route. This discovery will serve as a significant guiding principle for our future technological research and development efforts."

By the time the exhibition concluded on September 26, Qingdao Luhang had already preliminarily reached cooperation agreements with several Russian enterprises. This exhibition participation has further enhanced the company's brand influence in the international marine equipment arena. It has also laid a firm groundwork for Qingdao Luhang to expand its footprint in the maritime market along the Belt and Road Initiative.
