JSMEA Exchanges Information with Brazilian
Offshore-, Maritime-Concerned Parties
A delegation from the Japan Ship Machinery and Equipment
Association (JSMEA) met with groups and individuals attached toBrazilian offshore development and maritime industries on Aug. 24,
2023.
The coronavirus pandemic had limited their infor mationexchanges to online. During that time, however, many JSMEAaffiliated companies wanted more information on Brazil, as offshore
oil and gas development is becoming increasingly active off thecoast of Guyana, located north of Brazil, and oil prices are surging
on a global scale.
At the August 2023 meeting, several Brazilian companies
mentioned specific projects and challenges they face in advancing
the projects. The Japanese ship machinery and equipment industry
is eager to get involved in such projects.

The JSMEA delegation also visited Navalshore, an international
naval exhibition held at that time in Rio de Janeiro, to exchange
opinions with various exhibitor enterprises. The exhibitors included
several Japanese businesses, such as Daihatsu Diesel Mfg.; Fuji

JSMEA Holds Ship Machinery, Equipment Seminar in Taiwan

JSMEA Holds Ship Machinery, Equipment Seminar in Taiwan
The Japan Ship Machinery and Equipment Association (JSMEA)
held a seminar on ship machinery and equipment for fishing vessels
in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on Feb. 21, 2024 with financial assistance fromThe Nippon Foundation. The JSMEA event received organizational
support from five local organizations: the Taiwan Deepsea Tuna
Longline Boatowners and Exporters Association (TDTLBEA),
the Taiwan Squid and Saury Fisheries Association (TSSFA), theTaiwan Tuna Purse Seiners Association (TTPSA), the Kaohsiung
Fishermen’s Association (KFA) and the Taiwan Shipbuilding Industry
Association (TSIA).

At the ship machinery and equipment seminar, no presentations
were given to promote products. Instead, the delegation members
opened booths for business negotiations and other interactions withlocal attendees. Products brought from Japan were showcased at thebooths, where more information was also available in catalogs, tablet
computers and other means.
At the beginning of the seminar, Mr. Ueda extended his thanks
to Taiwan for providing support after devastating earthquakes hit
the Noto Peninsula in central Japan on New Year’s Day. JSMEA has
developed good relations with the Taiwanese fishery sector for along time now, he said, adding that the association wants to not only
maintain those strong ties but further enhance them as well.

The seminar is packed with many attendees.

The JSMEA delegations interact with curious gatherers at their booths.

Interest was high for the products brought from Japan.

On behalf of JSMEA, Mr. Ueda Shuzo, who presides over theOverseas Fishing Vessel Market Development Working Group at
the association, led a delegation of members from 17 affiliatedcompanies. From Taiwan, 208 individuals attended the seminaras representatives of fishing vessel owners, fishery companies,
shipbuilders and others from relevant industries.
Business negotiations are held on the spot.

The five local organizations repaid Mr. Ueda’s compliments,
saying that Japanese ship machinery and equipment as well as
fishing implements are important supplies for Taiwanese fishingvessels and inseparable to the Taiwanese fishery business. As
fishing vessel bunker costs have been sharply rising in recent years,
they hope that energy-saving products from Japan will make huge
contributions to the Taiwanese fishery and shipbuilding industries.
A feedback from one of the attendees indicated that although they
already have regular contact with local agents, it was nice to directly
exchange views with Japanese manufacturers and hear lectures on
their new technologies.
Members of the JSMEA delegation also highly rated the seminar,
with some replying that it was meaningful to hold business talks withmany local ship owners. Others were pleased with the chance tomeet with many whom they normally do not have direct contact as
the number of occasions to meet with fishing vessel owners havedecreased since the coronavirus pandemic. Others said that theevent had provided chances to interact with more ship owners than
expected, which they hope will lead to future business opportunities.
Based on these and other similar comments, the ship machineryand equipment seminar was regarded a success as the JSMEA
delegation was able to have interchanges with parties from thelocal fishery and shipbuilding industries and promote their products,
services and so on.
