The warships, from Australia, France, India, Indonesia, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and the USA, will be berthed at Changi Naval Base throughout the event. Trade visitors to IMDEX Asia will have the rare opportunity to board the warships, gain insight into operations on board and meet and network with senior naval officers.
"The continued support from foreign navies is testimony to the show's significance in the international maritime defence calendar," said Jimmy Lau, Managing Director of Experia Events, organiser of IMDEX Asia.
