BGP Litigation Partner Vladislav Rikov Attends Dubai International Boat Show

Vladislav Rikov, a Transport and Asset Finance Partner at BGP Litigation, attended the Dubai International Boat Show – the largest and one of the most prestigious yachting exhibitions in the Middle East. This annual event brings together shipbuilders, shipowners, investors, family office representatives, and other key stakeholders in the global maritime industry.

Celebrating its 30th anniversary, the exhibition serves as a premier platform for showcasing new yachts, marine technologies, and infrastructure solutions, while also providing a forum for discussing key trends shaping the international yachting sector. This year's agenda focused on financing, high-value asset structuring, maritime tourism, and technological innovation across the industry.

Superyacht Avenue was the flagship attraction of the show, featuring the world's leading megayacht manufacturers, alongside dedicated pavilions for marine technologies, equipment, innovations, and yacht infrastructure solutions. According to the organisers, the show attracts over 1,000 brands and displays more than 200 yachts and watercraft annually.

For Vladislav, the Dubai International Boat Show was a valuable opportunity to gain insights into current trends in the Middle Eastern yacht market, address practical challenges in high-value asset transactions, and network with international peers.

BGP Litigation's Transport and Asset Finance Practice regularly participates in major global industry events to stay abreast of market developments and provide informed advice on high-value asset structuring, financing and operation. Vladislav has previously attended the Monaco Yacht Show and is scheduled to participate in the New York Boat Show 2027.
