During July, NYK held three safety promotion conferences for shipowners and ship-management companies, under the slogan “Brush Up on Safety Awareness”, with participants exchanging information mainly about physical and mental issues that may lead to accidents and troubles by crew members.
These safety promotion conferences are conducted every summer as part of the Remember Naka-no-Se safety campaign, to prevent the lessons of the Diamond Grace accident in July 1997 from fading away 20 years after the spill occurred. The aim is to encourage all NYK Group board members, employees, and related partners to bear in mind the importance of safe operations.
In addition, NYK expressed its gratitude for the participants’ implementation of safety measures that began after last year’s conferences and encouraged the participants to take part in the campaign’s safety promotion competitions.
