On April 19, 2024, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Marine Machinery & Equipment attended a maritime seminar hosted by IMarEST(*1) in Dubai, UAE.
This seminar is held regularly by IMarEST for maritime industry-associated parties in the Middle East. This time, with the cooperation of locally-based MET turbocharger ARA(*2) Gulf Turbo Solutions, approximately 150 maritime industry-associated parties from across the Middle East were invited to attend the seminar, whose man subject was our products.
Due to the heavy rain that hit Dubai right before the seminar, there were concerns about whether it would be held on the scheduled day. In the end, however, over 100 visitors were in attendance, and we gave presentations centered on the maintenance of MET turbochargers and steering gears and introductions of the latest associated technology.

We received a lot of questions and feedback not only during the Q&A session that followed our presentation but also at the reception, giving us valuable opportunities to converse with many of our customers.
Located on the main shipping route of tanker fleets, the Middle East hosts numerous dry docks, ship management companies and repairers as a global ship repair base. Using this holding of the seminar as a springboard, we will proceed to work towards further strengthening our relationships with customers in the Middle East as well.
