SINGAPORE / JAPAN 25 March 2024 – Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS) is thrilled to announce its official
sponsorship of the renowned Imabari Football Club (FC Imabari). This sponsorship underscores EPS’s
dedication to supporting local sports initiatives and its ongoing commitment to the communities it
serves.

The partnership between EPS and FC Imabari represents a meaningful alliance between two entities
deeply rooted in their respective communities. As a company deeply ingrained in the sporting culture
and corporate involvement with shipyards in the Imabari region of Japan, EPS recognizes the importance
of fostering connections and giving back to the regional community where it has presence in.

FC Imabari, with its rich history and passionate fan base, embodies the spirit of sportsmanship,
dedication, and excellence — values that align seamlessly with those of EPS. By supporting the club, EPS
aims to promote community engagement, inspire local talent, and contribute to the vibrant sporting
culture of Imabari and beyond.

EPS remains committed to its role in the shipping community and continues to work very closely with
shipyards, striving for innovation, sustainability, and excellence as a leader in the shipping industry.
Through initiatives such as this sponsorship, EPS seeks to strengthen ties within the industry while
championing the growth and development of local communities.

In addition to the sponsorship of FC Imabari, EPS actively engages in efforts aimed at giving back to the
community. Its ‘Around The World’ (ATW) Fundraiser is one of the key events held every two years to
raise funds for needy causes. In the last ATW 2022, the fundraiser saw more than 5,000 sea and shore
participants in EPS and across the shipping community come together collectively through various
sports, to raise S$1.5million in support of The Mission to Seafarers. Plans are underway for the biannual
ATW this year.

“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with FC Imabari as part of our ongoing commitment to
community development and support for local sports initiative,” says Hayasaka Yosuke, Managing
Director at EPS Japan. “This sponsorship represents our dedication to fostering strong connections
within the communities we serve and underscores our belief in the power of sports to unite and
inspire.”

Through its partnership with FC Imabari and its continued involvement in the shipping community EPS
looks forward to making meaningful contributions to the community and build a lasting legacy of
sporting excellence and community engagement.
