International Maritime Club Expands with its New Member - Hong Kong Boating Industry Association

The Hong Kong Boating Industry Association (Hong Kong BIA) has become a member of the International Maritime Club (IMC). The chair of the Hong Kong BIA, Mr. Lawrence Chow, has completed all necessary formalities for the membership.

The Hong Kong BIA is a trade association representing all sectors of the leisure marine sector in Hong Kong, a mature boating market with nearly 10,000 registered leisure marine vessels, along with thousands of unpowered leisure marine craft. The pleasure boat industry has seen significant growth in recent decades, encompassing services ranging from boat builders, brokers, yacht management, charterers and distributors, to chandlers, clubs, marinas, training organisations, sail-makers, technical and professional services and specialised media.

Joining the IMC, a unique venture of Marine BizTV that has served the maritime industry for over 16 years, marks an important step for the Hong Kong BIA. The IMC is a dynamic hub focusing on Maritime and Oil & Gas industries, dedicated to fostering collaboration, innovation, and sustainable growth. The membership will allow the Hong Kong BIA to further represent the multi-million dollar industry both in Hong Kong and overseas.
