Regarding our business response following the partial lifting of the "State of Emergency"

Kinkai Yusen Co., Ltd. and its group companies Kinkai Yusen Hokkaido Co., Ltd., Kinyu Ship Management Co., Ltd., and Sanyu Co., Ltd. are implementing measures such as working from home to reduce the risk of infection for all employees in response to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).
Yesterday (May 14th), the government announced that the state of emergency had been lifted except for some areas, but as the declaration will remain in place in our major bases of Tokyo, Osaka, and Hokkaido, Kinkai Yusen Co., Ltd. and its group companies will continue to take the following infection prevention measures until Sunday, May 31st.

1. All employees at our four offices - Head Office (Tokyo), Tokyo Branch, Osaka Branch, and Fukuoka Sales Office - and our group company Kinyu Ship Management Co., Ltd. continue to work from home. Only for work that requires coming into the office, we are handling it with a minimum number of staff, taking sufficient infection prevention measures.
2. Our other offices, as well as our group companies Kinkai Yusen Hokkaido Co., Ltd. and Sanyu Co., Ltd., have set up shifts to allow employees to work from home, minimizing the number of people in the office and continuing operations.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to our business partners and other related parties, and we appreciate your understanding.
