Reasons you must visit Sea Japan / Offshore & Port Tech

The enormous challenge facing the maritime industry is to discover new energy sources to operate ships in order to achieve carbon neutrality. Which fuel, whether hydrogen, ammonia, LNG, electricity, or something else, will lead the industry towards this goal? How can the industry work to improve efficiency and ensure safety in order to commercialize this new energy source? At Sea Japan 2024 you will find the products, technologies and concepts that hold the key to solving this challenge.

<A Message from the Holland Pavilion Organiser>

Japan is in the top three largest shipbuilding countries in the world with a 10% share of global order intake by 2022. In addition, Japanese shipowners currently hold the second largest share of global order intake. Japanese shipyards are increasingly focusing on innovation and technologically advanced ships, resulting in more opportunities for Dutch companies as we are frontrunners in this field.

All in all, Japan is a highly interesting market for Dutch maritime companies.

We look forward to reconnecting with existing and potential business contacts during Sea Japan. We are eager to share knowledge with our industry colleagues and to discuss our bold maritime ambition for the future.
