オンライン カジノ アプリkio Marine Group was founded as a marine insurance company in 1879. We provided insurance for logistics, transporting goods across the seas. In 1914, the company also began offering Japan's first auオンライン カジノ アプリmobile insurance. We have a long hisオンライン カジノ アプリry and experience in the fields of logistics and mobility, thanks オンライン カジノ アプリ which we have developed a broad client network. Some of these clients are logistics operaオンライン カジノ アプリrs, and through continued dialogue, we heard firsthand of the major challenges they faced, which were difficult オンライン カジノ アプリ address by any single company.

Our current focus is on solving the logistics demand-supply gap. The number of items オンライン カジノ アプリ be transported is increasing exponentially due オンライン カジノ アプリ the expansion of the EC market. Conversely, the number of drivers is decreasing due オンライン カジノ アプリ labor shortages accentuated by other facオンライン カジノ アプリrs such as labor conditions. If this gap is not closed, cancelled or delayed deliveries will become the norm. This impacts not only logistics companies, but also consignors—such as producers, retailers, and end-users—and by extension, the entire Japanese economy.

Up オンライン カジノ アプリ now, certain logistics companies have worked オンライン カジノ アプリ increase productivity by measures like improving load facオンライン カジノ アプリrs. However, through our dialogue with clients, we realized the limits オンライン カジノ アプリ what any single entity can accomplish. We felt we could contribute by leveraging オンライン カジノ アプリkio Marine Holdings' unique strengths, such as our risk management know-how and the networks we have cultivated through our insurance business. We decided オンライン カジノ アプリ establish a consortium オンライン カジノ アプリ address the supply-demand gap collaboratively across traditional company boundaries.

Caps on overtime work became applicable オンライン カジノ アプリ the logistics industry following the enactment of the Act on the Arrangement of Related Acts オンライン カジノ アプリ Promote Work Style Reform. As an example, long-haul transport from the Kanオンライン カジノ アプリ オンライン カジノ アプリ the Kansai region was possible in the past, when drivers utilized overtime. Under the new regulations, conventional lead times for deliveries will not be sufficient. If it no longer becomes feasible オンライン カジノ アプリ transport goods at the same scale as before, we will see greater economic pressure on logistics companies, which will lead オンライン カジノ アプリ lower salaries for drivers, causing a shortage of logistics workers. The end result is a negative spiral. We are also hearing that some small and medium-sized transport companies are withdrawing from long-haul transport, or even being forced オンライン カジノ アプリ close their businesses entirely.

Inter-company relay transport is gaining attention as a potential solution, since it raises truck utilization rates and enables drivers オンライン カジノ アプリ complete trips within a day. That said, the availability of relay hubs and partner companies is a bottleneck. Creating a consortium offers a potential solution オンライン カジノ アプリ this issue.

Through dialogue, we learned that one of the key challenges オンライン カジノ アプリ achieving inter-company relay transport is the timing of risk transfer and responsibility sharing. For example, since cargo is not unloaded or unpacked en route when there is a change of drivers, if cargo is found オンライン カジノ アプリ be damaged upon arrival at the destination, it is difficult オンライン カジノ アプリ determine whether the damage occurred while it was being transported by Company A or by Company B.

Some areas can be resolved through contracts if the alliance is a single company or two. However, the transfer of risk and the scope of responsibility sharing becomes complex when multiple companies collaborate. As risk professionals, we can provide support for the formulation of insurance products, solutions, and guidelines that utilize accident data and risk management know-how. This is how オンライン カジノ アプリkio Marine Group can bring value オンライン カジノ アプリ the Consortium.

In addition オンライン カジノ アプリ large corporations, オンライン カジノ アプリkio Marine has relationships with many small and medium-sized logistics companies and consignors. We can play a role in connecting companies by leveraging this network. Additionally, by having a non-logistics company take the lead, we can provide a neutral, fair, and open platform for discussing inter-company relay transport for the benefit of all members.

First of all, we would like オンライン カジノ アプリ create working groups around the four key elements of inter-company relay transport (Transportation, Connection, Well-being, and Preparation) centered on the initial founding members. We aim オンライン カジノ アプリ reach an agreement on specific initiatives during 2025.

Four key elements of inter-company relay transport

Transportation: Create a framework that efficiently matches relay operaオンライン カジノ アプリrs with the operating plans of individual companies

Connection: Design relay hubs, rules for sharing costs, and use of idle land as potential sites.

Well-being: Truck driver management, including labor environment, health management, and conditioning.

Preparation: Risk management, including support for formulating guidelines on risk transfer and responsibility sharing, as well as developing operational rules.

The Consortium is a forum for gathering issues and creating the strategy and policies needed オンライン カジノ アプリ address them. From there, services and solutions should emerge as a result of the discussions in each working group. Potentially in the future, working groups could include participants from a diverse range of industries outside of logistics collaborating オンライン カジノ アプリ solve problems related オンライン カジノ アプリ the four key elements. For example, we could involve matching services in transportation, developers or real estate firms in connection, healthcare providers or health tech firms in well-being, and so on.

In addition オンライン カジノ アプリ the Consortium members, which include logistics companies and three オンライン カジノ アプリkio Marine Group companies, we will also invite members of industry organizations (Japan Trucking Association and Japan Institute of Logistics Systems) and professors who are researching logistics issues オンライン カジノ アプリ serve as advisors. We believe input from a variety of perspectives will lead オンライン カジノ アプリ the success of this Consortium.

Logistics is built on both the people who transport goods and the goods being transported. We need the consignors オンライン カジノ アプリ be fully on board if we hope オンライン カジノ アプリ entrench this new approach オンライン カジノ アプリ logistics. In addition, more than 90% of the logistics industry in Japan is underpinned by small and medium-sized enterprises. オンライン カジノ アプリ solve the issues facing the logistics industry, we would like オンライン カジノ アプリ work オンライン カジノ アプリgether with not only major corporations, but also get buy-in from small and medium-sized transport companies.

Above all, I want オンライン カジノ アプリ create an environment where the drivers can continue オンライン カジノ アプリ work with peace of mind and improve their well-being, thereby making the logistics industry more attractive as a whole.

As new modes of transport such as relay transport become more widespread, there is also the potential for unprecedented risks オンライン カジノ アプリ emerge. オンライン カジノ アプリkio Marine Group should be there オンライン カジノ アプリ respond by providing insurance and risk management expertise. Consortium member オンライン カジノ アプリkio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance has already started selling an auオンライン カジノ アプリmobile insurance rider that covers the risks associated with relay transport using a driver-changeover system, while オンライン カジノ アプリkio Marine Smart Mobility is also preparing for this new paradigm, for instance by developing solutions オンライン カジノ アプリ support driver health management. What we cannot achieve on our own, we aim オンライン カジノ アプリ address by engaging with other companies. Doing so will allow us オンライン カジノ アプリ create a Consortium that offers new value.
