Ocean Star International, Inc. Responds to Tragedy in Japan and Offers Support
Ocean Star International, Inc., an international shipping company, provides a response to the tragic earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on March 11, 2011, reassuring continued shipping service to Japan’s available ports. OSI will offer assistance to Japan if needed, and monitor the situation with regard to its customers’ commerce.
Coral Springs, FL, March 23, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Ocean Star International, Inc., the worldwide leader in international shipping, is saddened by the recent events that have devastated the wonderful people of Japan. Ever since the great tragedy of the earthquake and tsunami took place last week, which hit many Japanese ports, Ocean Star International, Inc. has been closely monitoring the situation.
Jay Morales, Vice President of OSI, had this to say: “We have stayed in contact with the steamship lines in regards to any disruptions that may affect our customers. Shipping companies expect to use other terminals not disrupted by the disaster. Right now, the only thing that appears safe to say is that the ports in the Northern part of the country have been most affected by the quake and tsunami. We will do everything possible in offering assistance and keep an open ear and eye on any developments that may occur or disrupt our customers’ commerce as well.”
Below are comments from 3 of the larger steamship lines:
A.P. Moller-Maersk (A Danish shipping and oil group) said on Thursday; its vessels would not enter or pass through an offshore area close to an overheating nuclear plant in Japan.
"We have defined an exclusion zone -- off shore from the Fukushima nuclear power plant -- where vessels are not to enter or transit. As long as it is considered safe, Maersk vessels will continue to call Japan."
He added that the exclusion zone was a minimum of 30 km. "We are monitoring the situation and it might change," said Maersk group press officer, Michael Christian Storgaard.
MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company) said, “We accept bookings to/from Japan as we have been doing. All of the MSC ports listed are working normally, Yokohama, Omaezaki, Nagoya, Yokkaichi, Kobe, Osaka, Hakata. Exception: Below outports cannot be accepted due to Tsunami strike; Sendai (Miyagi), Hachinohe, Ofunato, Hitachinaka, Kashima,” said MSC JAPAN K.K.
