The Corona-19 infection that has raged worldwide for the past few years. It is definitely coming to the end. Restrictions have been relieved in most countries, and life is almost back to normal.

We still need to obtain a visa to enter China, but you can enter and leave China same as before. Especially It’s the biggest problem for shipowners such as crew change in Chinese ports; Superintendent attend drydock repair in Chinese Shipyards; oversea maker’s service engineers attending in China have become normal as before Corona-19.

However, more than one year has passed since between Russia & Ukraine War.
We don’t even see any signs end of war. Raw materials such as: LNG fuel and grain prices have increased because of the war. The matter was widely brought up in social issue.
In particular, Initiatives for the environmental problem “carbon neutrality” has been accelerating globally, regards to the issue of renewable energy is discussing like a hundred contending school of thought in the shipping industry. Due to this, Research and Development is going ahead at fever pitch.

Our Company (Pan Asian Marine) have established a training system which is called “Process Bridge”. It is helpful for our engineers to acquire knowledge and skills related to LNG, so that we can introduce and assistant our clients bring LNG carriers and Dual Fuel carriers to drydock at Chinese shipyards as much as possible.

Finally, we would like to express our deepest gratitude for your continued strongly support, and we will continue to do our best to work with you under the motto of “WIN-WIN” spirit.

We look forward to your continued guidance and encouragement.
