Normal Operations Will Resume on Thursday, July 30
We extend our deepest sympathies to everyone affected by the recent earthquake.
To ensure the safety of our guests and employees, SEACRUISE suspended all operations on Wednesday, July 29, and conducted safety inspections of its vessels, accommodation facilities, marina, surrounding roads, and other related facilities.
The inspections confirmed that our buildings, vessels, accommodation facilities, and marina sustained no damage that would significantly affect our operations.
We have also confirmed that the main national roads connecting Kumamoto City and Kami-Amakusa City are open to traffic. In addition, no major damage significantly affecting access or operations has been reported at Kumamoto Airport, Kumamoto Station, or Kumamoto Sakuramachi Bus Terminal.
Based on these confirmations, SEACRUISE will resume normal operations on Thursday, July 30.
We will continue to monitor aftershocks and transportation services and will operate with safety as our highest priority.
