In May, Yamatai, a module carriers operated by NYK-Hinode Line Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of NYK, which has been engaged in free ocean transport of relief supplies to the northeast region of Japan, was recognized by NYK and certificates of appreciation were granted to each crew member.
The relief supplies were collected through the First Relief Supplies Hotline, which was established by NYK and the Japan Federation of Economic Organizations.
Local governments, the All-Japan Seamen’s Union, NPOs, and other companies contributed to provide these supplies.
The vessel set sail from the port of Kobe on March 24, and arrived at the port of Hachinohe in Aomori Prefecture on March 27.
The relief supplies, which included drinking water, food, sanitary goods, and goods for daily life, equivalent to about 146 tons, were distributed to various cities upon completion of discharging.
