In January 2024, an Emergency Supply Drill was held at Yura Dockyard (Wakayama Prefecture).

This was a part of Port Networking Project for Disaster Support (Inochi-no-Minato Project) which is public-private joint program led by MLIT Kinki Branch and Wakayama Prefecture.

The purpose of this drill was to raise awareness of disaster prevention and strengthen disaster response capabilities.

This activity was practiced under the scenario of a large-scale landslide in Hidaka region of Wakayama Prefecture, cutting off land transportation and the water supply.

Since Yura Dockyard can be accessed from the sea, it was used as a support hub for the affected area.

A total of 100 people from the national and local governments, as well as media companies, participated in this drill, and several port operation boats were deployed.

Yura Dockyard had also joined as a support role, for example, supporting the landing of ships, and lifting of relief supplies by slinging and carrying them in and out.

In January 2024, a strong earthquake hit the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture, and many people were affected.
The disaster such as earthquake was reminded us of the cruelty of earthquakes, which can strike at any time and in any place.
Because we cannot predict when “the time”comes, we were reminded the importance of being prepared on a daily basis.
Participation in this practical disaster drill was extremely meaningful for our company.

TSUNEISHI Group will continue our efforts to raise disaster awareness, prepare to play a role in case of disaster, and contribute to the region and society.
