Regarding the implementation of telecommuting following the issuance of the "State of Emergency" declaration
In response to the "State of Emergency Declaration" announced on Tuesday, April 7th due to the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), Kinkai Yusen Co., Ltd. has decided to transition all employees at its three affected offices - the Tokyo Head Office, Osaka Branch, and Fukuoka Sales Office - as well as its group company, Kinyu Ship Management Co., Ltd. - to working from home from Monday, April 13th. Until the declaration is lifted, we will only handle work that requires coming into the office, with a minimum number of staff, and will take sufficient infection prevention measures.
In addition, our other business locations, as well as our group companies Kinkai Yusen Hokkaido Co., Ltd. and Sanyu Co., Ltd., will continue to implement the business practices that have been in place since Wednesday, March 11th, including encouraging employees to stagger work hours, take paid leave, and work from home, as well as refraining from business trips, meetings, and visits to related parties.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused to our business partners and other related parties during this period, and we appreciate your understanding. Contact details for those working from home will be provided separately by each office.
