Through our vast experience and knowledge of local conditions and venues, we are well prepared to plan the perfect exhibition for you.

Arranging all practical tasks

Upon arrival our exhibition logistics team coordinate the unloading and take care of your cargo. When it is time for you to meet and talk with the visitors at your stand, why not let us handle the practical matters so that you can concentrate on your visitors. We can cater for you and your visitors, provide storage of your luggage during trade shows or arrange any kind of equipment that you may need to give your visitors the best experience.

When it is time to go home, we will dismantle your stand and return your cargo safely.

Cargo insurance with better coverage

We always do whatever we can to deliver your shipments in good condition. However, it is better to be on the safe side, if an unforeseen event or accident should occur, saving you for losing the value of your cargo.

You can protect your investment by taking out a cargo insurance. With our all risk insurance, you will have better coverage than the general insurance possibilities on the market provide – at a competitive premium.

Coordinating exhibition transports and logistics

Exhibitions and trade shows provide businesses with a vital platform to showcase their products, strengthen partnerships and connect with new audiences. Every successful stand relies on careful logistics planning to ensure that equipment, promotional materials and displays arrive on time and in perfect condition. At Blue Water, we specialise in coordinating exhibition transport and logistics worldwide, so our clients can focus on their event and not worry about the challenges of international freight forwarding.

We offer end-to-end exhibition logistics solutions

With decades of experience, our dedicated exhibition freight forwarders manage every step of the transport chain. We offer door-to-stand delivery, covering everything from pick-up at your company, warehouse or supplier to final positioning at the venue. Our flexible, customisable solutions cater for exhibitions of all sizes, whether you are shipping a single crate of marketing materials or an entire pavilion.

Blue Water works closely with a trusted network of local agents who are experts in on-site handling, customs clearance and venue regulations. This means that, no matter where your exhibition takes place, you benefit from local expertise combined with a global reach.

We guarantee on-time delivery and secure handling

Timing is everything in the world of exhibitions. Delayed deliveries can impact stand construction, marketing campaigns and meeting schedules. That’s why our team carefully coordinates air, sea and road freight to align with strict event timelines. We use proactive communication and track-and-trace systems to keep you informed about the status of your shipment at all times.

We understand the importance of secure handling. We pack, load and transport fragile exhibition materials such as display systems, prototypes and high-value equipment. Our experienced staff and reliable partners ensure that everything arrives safely and is ready for assembly.

International exhibitions often involve complex customs formalities and temporary import/export procedures. Our specialists can guide you through ATA Carnets, import licences and local regulations to ensure smooth clearance at the border. By managing the documentation in advance, we minimise the risk of delays, allowing you to focus on the exhibition itself.

Personal service worldwide

At Blue Water, we believe that successful exhibition logistics are built on trust and collaboration. Each of our clients has a dedicated contact person who oversees the entire process, from the initial booking to dismantling and return transport. We provide round-the-clock on-site assistance, helping with last-minute changes and ensuring a stress-free experience.

We have experience with major international trade shows, industry-specific exhibitions and smaller regional events. No matter the size or destination, we deliver the same high-quality service that defines us as a reliable and responsible business partner.
