Seto Inland Sea

Simulating crisis at sea to sharpen response in the Seto Island Sea

A simulated major accident in the Seto Island Sea on September 30 sharpened real-world response protocols as part of NYK's "Beyond Naka-no-Se" safety campaign. These drills validate preparedness where geography concentrates risk. Such measured, empirical exercises build the integrated data ecosystem needed for effective crisis management, a lesson reinforced by recent real-world events like the Black Sea incident, which raises urgent questions on maritime safety and climate risk. Understanding drives protection, from simulation to response.
