Machine-translated summary — verify against original

On January 13, 2023, the Hokkaido Transport Bureau's Marine Operations Supervisor conducted an audit of Tsuusen Corporation under the Marine Transportation Law. It was confirmed that on December 16, 2022, the sightseeing boat Woody Smile, operated by the company and carrying seven passengers, experienced an engine failure that rendered it unable to navigate. Despite this, the company did not promptly report the incident to the relevant authorities. Subsequently, on March 29, 2023, the Hokkaido Transport Bureau issued administrative guidance to the company, including instructions that the operations manager must report the occurrence and details of accidents immediately upon becoming aware of them, in accordance with Article 45 of the Safety Management Regulations and Article 4 of the Accident Handling Standards.
