On Friday, February 9, 2018, the Ehime Maru Memorial Association (EMMA) held a remembrance ceremony for the 17 th anniversary of the collision between the USS Greeneville and the Uwajima Fisheries High School training ship Ehime Maru.

Also traveling from Uwajima City were Mayor Fumiaki Okahara and 11 community leaders. In addition, Governor David Ige, Consul General Koichi Ito and Mrs. Misako Ito, and over 40 members of the community attended the service at the site of the Ehime Maru Memorial in Kakaako Waterfront Park.
