A blooming good time at Sea Japan 2016

摘要

There may be a lot of doom and gloom in the shipping markets currently but it was not evident at Sea Japan 2016 held at the Tokyo Big Sight Exhibition Centre in mid-April. Held during the Sakura (cherry blossom) season in Tokyo, organizer UBM Japan had dubbed the show 'Japan's maritime industry is in full bloom,' reflecting the bounce back of the country's shipbuilding sector over the last couple of years. The theme was carried through to the exhibition itself with entrance ways designed to look like flowering cherry blossom and even a pinkish carpet in the aisles.
