Violation

Machine-translated summary — verify against original

On August 5, 2024, the operator of the Takasaki to Mutsu Island route notified that they were using the substitute vessel 'Shigure' from the first trip of the day. Since they had not obtained approval for the change in their business plan (details of the passenger vessels used), an on-site inspection was conducted on September 18, 2024. During the inspection, it was confirmed that on August 5, 2024, the vessel 'Shigure' was used without the necessary approval for the change in the passenger vessel details, constituting a violation of Article 11, Paragraph 1 of the Marine Transportation Act. The Kyushu Transport Bureau issued a warning to the operator on December 3, 2024.
