Meet Vanemar at ICE 2025 in Amsterdam

We’re excited to share that Vanemar will be exhibiting at International Charter Expo (ICE) 2025, taking place November 12-14, 2025 at EXPO Greater Amsterdam (Stelling 1). If you’re in yacht charter, fleet operations, brokerage, or marine services, ICE is one of the most efficient places to build relationships and plan your next season.

You’ll find us at Booth #SW-21 - and yes, we’re on the Handshake 2.0 app so you can book a meeting with our team in advance.

What Is ICE & Why It Matters for Charter Businesses

International Charter Expo is the world’s largest B2B yacht-charter event, bringing together fleet operators, central agencies, brokers & travel agents, suppliers, and shipyards from 50+ countries. Over three days, participants run pre-arranged 30-minute meetings right on the show floor or in lounge areas, making it easy to review partnerships, compare solutions, and finalize plans before the new season.

Show hours & flow (Nov 12–14):

  • 09:00–18:00: B2B meetings at booths and lounge areas

  • 12:00–16:00: Lunch service on site

  • Open bars in lounges in the afternoon

  • ICE Rocks Party on Wednesday, Nov 12 (19:00–01:00) for extra networking

Venue: EXPO Greater Amsterdam, Stelling 1, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Where to Find Vanemar

Stop by for a hands-on look at how Vanemar helps charter teams keep vessels monitored and under control on the dock, underway, and between charters.

What Vanemar Will Be Showcasing

Vanemar Gateway

The core of the Vanemar system, enabling 24/7 connectivity for your boat data. It features built-in GPS, global SIM, and anti-tamper safeguards; designed to work seamlessly with the Vanemar App.

Wireless Sensors

Quick-install sensors for bilge water, smoke, entry and motion, plus temperature & humidity monitoring. Get timely alerts for flooding risk, potential fire, or unauthorized access - even when no one is aboard.

NMEA 2000 Boat Adapter & Digital Switching

Bring engine, tank, and battery data into the Vanemar App via NMEA 2000. With Digital Switching, you can remotely control onboard circuits (e.g., lights, pumps) and set up practical automations.

Fleet Dashboard

For charter companies and operators: monitor many vessels in one place with status at a glance, historical trends, and alerts that help reduce downtime, standardize checks, and keep crews focused on guests.

Why it’s useful for fleets

  • Turnaround efficiency: Standardize checklists and watch key health signals between charters.

  • Risk reduction: Identify issues earlier (e.g., shore power loss, bilge activity, battery health).

  • Operational visibility: One dashboard for multi-base operations and mixed vessel types.

  • Guest experience: Fewer surprises; faster response when something needs attention.

Book a Meeting with Us via Handshake 2.0

We’re using Handshake 2.0, ICE’s official matchmaking app, to plan our schedule. Meetings are 30 minutes and you can book up to 17 per day which keeps the show moving efficiently for everyone.

What We Would Love to Discuss at ICE 2025

  • Remote visibility for every boat: Battery state, shore power status, bilge activity, temperature/humidity, entry/motion from anywhere.

  • Incident prevention & response: Actionable alerts that help crews react quickly to avoid trip disruptions.

  • NMEA 2000 data, simply presented: Engines, tanks, and other onboard systems available in one app.

  • Digital Switching & routines: Remote control for circuits and time-saving automations for turnarounds.

  • Roll-out roadmaps: How to pilot with several boats and scale to your whole fleet across bases.

  • Connectivity strategies: Global SIM coverage, and options for offshore continuity.

  • Operations & ROI: Fewer last-minute scrambles, better guest experience, and more consistent maintenance cycles.

Make the Most of Your ICE Schedule

  • Pre-book on Handshake: Prime times fill fast; lock in your preferred slots early.

  • Batch topics: Consider booking two adjacent meetings if you’d like a deeper technical review with our team.

  • Leverage the lounges: If booth slots are full, suggest a lounge meeting via the app.

  • Keep notes in-app: Use Personal Notes and My Contacts so follow-ups after ICE are effortless.
