History
The facility began operation in August 1994 (the present Hall A).
On October 1, 2019, in connection with the construction of the second-phase exhibition hall and a multi-story car park as part of Fukuoka City's policy to strengthen its MICE functions, Marine Messe Fukuoka was renamed Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A. Until the opening of the second-phase exhibition hall, however, the name "Marine Messe Fukuoka" continued to be used on the facility's website and elsewhere.
The multi-story car park began operation in May 2020, and the second-phase exhibition hall, Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall B, began operation in April 2021.
