    The marine product lineup of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) possesses up-to-date technology with unique designs, as well as the high reliability established over 130 years of abundant experience. Our lineup includes a wide range such as the UE diesel engine, the MET turbocharger, propellers, the Ultra Steam Turbine (UST), and boilers for offshore use. The abundance of marine-related products including the aforementioned items exceeds any other global player. The operation of these product lines is now being undertaken by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Marine Machinery & Engine Co., Ltd. to realize timely decision making and action for the rapidly changing business environment and to establish a strengthened business system that expedites technological development to cope with energy-saving and environmental regulations. The basic business policy covers three strategies, which are implemented by our predecessor, MHI's marine machinery and engine division. The three strategies include the proposal of energy-efficient and green solutions through "Project MEET," "Globalization" with overseas production partners and domestic manufactures and "Reinforced Servicing" by providing secure and speedy services to our customers through the product life cycle. This report introduces the environmental changes surrounding the marine machinery business, and examples of Project MEET products corresponding to the change (Figure 1).
