今年は元旦早々からまさかの石川県での大震災に驚きを隠せません。

被災され、未だに厳しい状況に置かれている皆様には心よりお見舞い申し上げます。

津波により複数の船舶も流された映像を目の当たりにして、同じく船を所有する身として心が引き裂かれる思いです。

年初から日本にとって大きな試練であり、2024年度は正念場の年になるかもしれません。

今年も自然界や人間界において様々な予測外の困難があるかもしれませんが、我々も気を引き締めて, 安全航行とリスク対策を徹底して業務に推進したいと思います。

We cannot hide our surprise at the unexpected earthquake that occurred in Ishikawa Prefecture right from the early hours of New Year's Day. We extend our heartfelt condolences to everyone who has been affected and is still facing challenging circumstances.

Seeing the footage of multiple vessels being swept away by the tsunami, as someone who also owns same vessel, it brings about a deeply torn feeling.

From the beginning of the year, Japan has faced significant trials, and the fiscal year 2024 may well be a critical period.

This year, there may be various unforeseen difficulties in both the natural and human realms. However, we are determined to remain vigilant, and we aspire to diligently promote safety in navigation and implement comprehensive measures in our risk operations.
