WALLACE, Chief Judge:
Ceramic Corporation of America and 22 other American owners and insurers of cargo carried aboard the M/V-Bremen Senator (collectively Ceramic) appeal from the district court’s dismissal of their admiralty action on the grounds of forum non conveniens. Ceramic contends that the district court erred in concluding that Japan is a more convenient forum for its claims. The district court had jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1333.
