Bari-Ship is back to Imabari!
Let’s face it, you can’t beat face-to-face events for conveying products, technology and passion. "Bari-Ship" will be held as a live event for the first time in four years, and there is a lot of excitement at the prospect of everyone in the maritime industry being able to get together again to talk business in Imabari next month.
Bari-Ship, which celebrates its seventh edition this time, will be held over three days from May 25th to 27th 2023. The exhibition will be the largest scale ever.
The maritime industry is currently facing many challenges, such as the drive towards carbon neutrality, the introduction of new fuel sources, digital transformation (DX), and human resource development. The products and technologies needed for the future of the maritime industry have already been developed. Get the latest information on the products and technologies that will be incorporated into future-ready ships at Bari-Ship 2023!
Regarding the upcoming Bari-Ship 2023, Mr. Shigeki Tokunaga, Mayor of Imabari city, said, "Bari-Ship is an important event symbolizing Imabari’s position as Japan’s leading maritime city.

This time, at Bari-Ship 2023 which celebrates its seventh edition, we hope for more active business discusions and exchanges of opinions under the themes of "Environmental Protection" and "Digitalization". During Bari-Ship the local maritime industry will organize a variety of activities and events such as shipyard visits and factory tours aimed at stimulating the next generation of maritime personnel".
