Bari-Ship exhibition and conference is held in the city of Imabari, home to the largest cluster of maritime-related industries in Japan.

The city’s importance in this sector cannot be overstated – shipbuilding companies headquartered in Imabari account for one-third of all commercial tonnage built in Japan each year, while its shipowners control one-third of Japan’s ocean-going fleet.

That’s why, every two years, Japan’s shipping industry gathers in Imabari to see the latest developments in maritime technology and to talk business.

If you want to meet senior leaders and key management from some of Japan’s most important shipbuilders and ship owners, make sure you join them at Bari-Ship 2025.
