| English summary | On December 12, 2023, the passenger vessel 'Venus 2' operated by Kyushu Yusen Co., Ltd., carrying 47 passengers, was navigating off Uotsurizaki when the hull struck a wave trough. This caused seawater to flow into the ship through the strut inspection port in front of the first-class cabin, leading to a temporary engine shutdown and making the vessel unable to continue its voyage. Six passengers sustained injuries such as neck sprains. The Kyushu Transport Bureau's marine transport law audit was conducted on December 12, 15, 22, 2024, and February 1, 2024. On March 28, 2024, the bureau issued guidance to the company, including that the operation manager must, based on Article 30 of the safety management regulations, ensure that weather and sea condition information is obtained on the day of operation and, if necessary, communicated to the captain. |
