At a luncheon meeting, TSUNEISHI SHIPBUILDING provided an overview of its operations in Japan, the Philippines and China. An employee currently on intra-company transfer from TTS shared his experiences of working at TSUNEISHI SHIPBUILDING and living in Japan. Assigned to the Design Headquarters, he explained that while vessels at TTS had previously only been viewed on 3D CAD systems, he was now able to study actual ships in the yard, greatly deepening his technical understanding. He also noted the importance of punctuality, having experienced first-hand the precision of Japanese scheduling. Looking ahead, he expressed his aspiration to share the expertise acquired in Japan with colleagues at TTS and to help build its design capabilities to the level of TSUNEISHI\u2019s operations in the Philippines and China. Commenting on these initiatives, President Ramos-Horta stated: \u201cJob creation in Timor-Leste is our foremost priority.
