James Fisher & Sons plc (James Fisher) has launched a new legal entity for long-term presence in Japan.
The global provider of specialist services to the energy, marine and defence industries is launching the new entity in Japan to reinforce its long-term commitment to Japan and its footprint in North East Asia.
The group already has a partnership covering the offshore wind service industry, including a Joint Collaboration Agreement with Tokyo Gas Engineering Solutions (TGES).
The company with more than 200 employees across 12 locations in the Asia–Pacific (APAC), and operations in over 25 countries worldwide, will be exhibiting at Japan Wind Expo 2025 from February 19-21.
Jean Vernet, CEO at James Fisher and Sons plc, said: “Japan’s ambitious modernisation plans are driving demand for advanced maritime technology, defence capabilities and renewable energy solutions.”
“With a target of 10 GW of offshore wind by 2030, a significant increase in defence spending to 2% of GDP by 2027, and around 99% of its foreign trade moving by sea, it is making substantial investments across these critical areas,” Vernet added.
