TOKYO: NYK held its annual Dry Bulk Safety Conference at the company’s
headquarters in Tokyo to share safety awareness and review trouble
response for dry bulk vessels.
A total of 75 participants from 41 Japanese shipowners and ship-management companies attended.
This conference has been held every year since 2010 to promote safety
through the exchange of ideas and the sharing of information about
recent incidents with shipowners and ship-management company personnel
in charge of vessel management.
The Dry Bulk Division’s goal is to become the world’s leading dry bulk
fleet, and to achieve this aim, participants shared new technology being
used for safe and efficient operation and actively exchanged opinions
with one another. This year’s topics included the ship quality demanded
by global resources companies, the drive recorder that is installed on
the bridge to prevent further accidents, and the benefit of using a new
fuel-oil additive developed by Nippon Yuka Kogyo Co. Ltd. to lower
sulphur and thus help the NYK Group comply with environmental
regulations.
In its medium-term management plan “Staying Ahead 2022 with
Digitalization and Green” released in March, NYK announced a strategy to
achieve sustainable growth. The NYK Group will endeavour to realize
safety and high quality transportation, thus responding to environmental
issues with various partners.
