This was the second consecutive year that the event was held and allowed each child to gain a better understanding of their parent’s workplace. Furthermore, the visit encouraged parents to shorten their work hours and spend more time in communication with loved ones.
Nine elementary-school-aged children of employees visited the head office in central Tokyo, and after receiving a presentation on NYK’s activities and seafarers’ onboard duties, the children participated in two classes, one class using blocks to understand the structure of a containership and another class charting safe courses while checking the meanings of symbols for possible obstructions.
