NYK Conducts Joint Counterterrorism Drill with Hong Kong Police
Verifies Countermeasures against Possible Container Ship Invasion
On April 17, NYK and the Hong Kong Police Force jointly conducted a counterterrorism drill aboard NYK's container ship NYK Daniella.
The drill lasted about an hour in Hong Kong's territorial waters. Based on the scenario of terrorists entering the vessel by boat, Hong Kong special forces searched and suppressed the terrorists, while all parties, including the crew and the ship-management company, worked together to verify response procedures. This has been the first joint drill with the Hong Kong Police Force since 2011.
Safe operation is the NYK Group’s first priority. We will continue to make concerted efforts to ensure the safety of our crews and the safe and reliable delivery of our customers' cargo.
