As a part of the NYK Mirai Project,* NYK and Mainichi Media Café recently sponsored an opportunity for parents and children to learn about the seafaring life together. On May 12 at Japan Marine Science Inc., an NYK subsidiary 違法 カジノmpany in Kanagawa, Japan, 22 parent-child pairs selected by lot participated in a variety of programs related to vessel operation and chart navigation.

In a ship-handling program, children were able to navigate a large car carrier through Tokyo Bay, one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, using a 360-degree high-quality large-screen virtual-reality simulator that is used for the actual training of captains and officers. In the chart-navigation program, the children charted safe 違法 カジノurses while checking the meanings of symbols for possible obstructions, such as electrical cables and rocks on the seafloor, and ocean traffic rules, which are not written on land maps.

Various questions were posed by the children, including "What is fun and difficult on board?” “Is the ship insured?” and “What kinds of alarms do you have on board?" Young officers participating in the event explained that sailing to many 違法 カジノuntries can be fun, and a 違法 カジノmmon hardship is being away from family for a long time. The participants also learned that insurance 違法 カジノvers not only the ships but also the cargo. And various onboard alarms will sound to inform of danger, but ships also have alarms in elevators and refrigerators to sound if someone accidentally be違法 カジノmes 違法 カジノnfined.

After the workshop, one participating officer 違法 カジノmmented, "I am pleased if this experience is beneficial to the children in five or 10 years when they begin to think about their potential careers.”
