Ces sujets seront également mis en évidence lors de l’exposition organisée par le comité des membres industriels de l’AISM.

L’exposition sur le patrimoine mondial des phares sera un évènement incontournable d’Incheon 2018 et rappellera aux délégués l’importance de l’histoire des phares et du rôle vital qu’ils continuent de jouer en tant qu’aide à la navigation pour la sécurité maritime à travers le monde.

Incheon est le portail maritime ultra moderne de la Corée. La ville offre un intéressant mélange d’innovation, d’esprit d’entreprise, de culture traditionnelle, et de superbes occasions de se reposer au bord de la mer et de découvrir l’environnement naturel exotique des îles environnantes.
