Greetings from JSMEA’s Chairman

Greet Greeting from the Chairman of Japan Ship Machinery and Equipment Associa- tion (J tion (JSMEA)

Our Our organization, the Japan Ship Machinery and Equipment Association (JSME (JSMEA), mainly consists of enterprises that primarily manufacture ship machin- ery an ery and equipment installed aboard vessels. It currently boasts a membership of appro approximately 240 manufacturers, some of which supply products for of shore deve v lo development facilities.

Rece Recently, Japanese shipbuilding companies have been increasing the number of contra contracts from both compatriot and overseas customers for the production of fa- cilities cilities for of shore development projects. For its part, the JSMEA set up a dedi- cated cated in-house organization, called the Of shore Working Group, in 2013 to study produ products and services for and to exchange information on the of shore develop- men ment business. We are now working with the government of Japan together with oth other parties.

T e JSMEA has been present at the Of shore Technology Conference (O (OTC) since 2013 to promote its member companies’ ship machinery and e equipment.

Global energy demand is growing every year, though it is vulnerable to eco- n nomic changes, as with the recent decline in crude oil prices.

W We, Japanese ship machinery and equipment manufacturers, hope to not on only supply safe and ef cient products of high quality, but also to provide pr professional and thorough after-sales services so that each oil and gas drilling, p p p production and transport project can be carried out safely and ef ciently.

T is year, the JSMEA will introduce many Japanese ship machinery and equipment products at its booth (No. 11006) at the OTC. I humbly re- quest that you come to visit JSMEA member companies at our booth.

Signed

Motoyoshi Nakashima

Chairman

Japan Ship Machinery and Equipment Association
