WBX 2026

WBX 2026 will take place on March 19–20, 2026 at Hall H3 of the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center (SWECC). The exhibition is positioned as a focused, trade-only event for the logistics and transportation sector, emphasizing practical business exchange rather than general logistics marketing. Its annual format supports continuity of relationships within the breakbulk and project cargo community, enabling recurring negotiations, follow-up on ongoing projects and alignment on future transport demand. For cargo owners and EPCs, WBX provides a concentrated environment to meet qualified logistics partners; for service providers, it delivers direct access to decision-makers responsible for high-value, high-risk transport operations.

The thematic scope of WBX centers on project cargo and traditional breakbulk logistics, including heavy-lift transport, multimodal solutions, port and terminal services, and specialized handling for industrial and infrastructure projects. These themes reflect real-world transport challenges where cargo characteristics, route feasibility, regulatory compliance and risk management are critical. The exhibition addresses the full logistics chain supporting sectors such as energy, oil and gas, mining, steel, construction and large-scale manufacturing, making it relevant for companies managing complex transport requirements rather than standardized container flows.

WBX attracts a professional B2B audience that includes cargo owners from industrial and infrastructure sectors, EPC contractors, freight forwarders, shipping lines, ports, terminals and multimodal transport operators. This participant mix is essential for project cargo logistics, where solutions are typically co-designed between shipper and carrier rather than purchased off-the-shelf. For visitors, the value lies in direct access to logistics partners capable of handling oversized and heavy cargo; for exhibitors, the event offers qualified leads from companies with active or upcoming project requirements and defined transport budgets.

Rather than finished products, WBX showcases logistics capabilities and services, including breakbulk and project cargo shipping, heavy-lift vessels, port and terminal handling solutions, inland transport, engineering and route surveys, and end-to-end project logistics management. Exhibitors typically present case studies, technical expertise and operational experience instead of standardised price lists. For cargo owners and EPCs, this allows assessment of provider competence, safety culture, compliance readiness and problem-solving capability, which are decisive factors in selecting partners for complex and high-risk transport projects.

WBX 2026 will be hosted at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center, a venue well suited for international B2B logistics events due to its central location and professional infrastructure. The venue supports efficient meeting schedules, private discussions and conference sessions, which are critical for negotiations involving sensitive project data and commercial terms. For international participants, Shanghai’s role as a global logistics and shipping hub enhances the relevance of the event and facilitates attendance by regional and overseas stakeholders.

WBX is organised by a dedicated exhibition team specializing in logistics and project cargo events in Asia. The exhibition has established itself over multiple editions as a focused meeting point for the breakbulk community, reflected in high exhibitor return rates and growing international attendance. For participants, organiser specialization is a practical indicator of event quality: it influences audience targeting, conference relevance and the overall effectiveness of the exhibition as a business development platform rather than a general logistics showcase.
