- About the Campaign
The Remember Naka-no-Se safety campaign is conducted for two months from July 1 every year, and draws on the lessons learnt from the crude oil tanker Diamond Grace oil spill to encourage all NYK Group members to bear in mind the importance of safe operations. During the campaign, NYK board members, employees, and related partners visit vessels to share safety-related material with officers and crews and deepen mutual understanding of safe operation.
A total of 173 participants from 90 companies participated in the three conferences. Under the slogan "Brush Up on Safety Awareness,” participants exchanged information to enhance crew member awareness of onboard dangers, and swapped ideas to prevent the recurrence of accidents and troubles.
NYK also stressed the importance of open communication, which is emphasized in "The NYK Group's Biggest Crisis — the Naka-no-Se Oil Spill," a new safety promotion video that NYK produced this year. The participants were reminded of the importance of communication between ship and land, and business partners from shipowners and ship-management companies were able to exchange frank and honest opinions.
The greatest mission of the NYK Group is to deliver the goods of our customers safely and securely, and NYK will continue to steadily work to ensure safe operation on land and at sea.
