NYK vessel saves two people

By the NYK Group.

A general cargo vessel owned by NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers, the “Mito“, which is managed by Hachiuma Steamship, rescued two people in an inflatable rubber boat in distress off the coast of Guam on July 30.

While sailing from Port Kembla in Australia to Naoshima in Kagawa prefecture, Japan, the ship discovered two people in an inflatable boat in distress because of engine failure about 80 nautical miles north of Guam and immediately rescued them.

The two persons were in good health and handed over to the United States Coast Guard off the coast of Saipan on July 31. While the two were aboard the Mito, measures were taken to prevent COVID-19 infection.
