ダナン カジノ

As a part of the NYK Mirai Project,* NYK sponsored a booth that introduced oceangoing ships and the appeal of the seafaring life to children at the summer 2018 “ダナン カジノ” (Festival of Learning) held on August 22 at the Japan Science Foundation’s museum in central Tokyo.

This event was organized by the Mainichi Shimbun, one of Japan’s major newspapers, to provide children with the opportunity to learn about jobs at companies that might not be familiar to the children. Thirty-seven companies and organizations exhibited ダナン カジノ event, which was attended by about 1,800 children and parents chosen by lot.

This was the fourth “ダナン カジノ” for NYK, and the company gave the children the opportunity to navigate a car carrier via a ship-handling simulator, and helped the children to disassemble an engine using an engine kit.

Many children enjoyed the simulator challenge of piloting a large ship with NYK officers and commented about the poor visibility in stormy weather ダナン カジノ inability to turn due to wind and waves. At the engineering corner, children curiously took apart an engine, and reassembled it again with the assistance of an NYK engineer.

A photo area was set up and cosponsored by the All Japan Seamen's Union ダナン カジノ International Mariners Management Association of Japan, and many children enjoyed interacting with the J-Crew Project’s mascots and being photographed wearing uniforms, including the captain’s.

ダナン カジノ looks forward to continuing the NYK Mirai Project to encourage interest in seafaring among children.
