Japan's NYK donates US$34,098 to aid of typhoon victims in the Philippines

JAPAN's NYK has donated PHP1.5 million (US$34,098) through the NYK-TDG Friendship Foundation to provide free ocean transport for relief supplies for the people and regions of the southern Philippines that were struck by a deadly typhoon in mid December. The company has also organised a fundraising campaign within the NYK Group.

In 2004, the NYK Group established the NYK Group-JPF Joint Aid Supplies Transportation with Japan Platform (JPF), an international humanitarian assistance organisation. The company said the free ocean transport of aid supplies will be arranged based on a request from JPF.

In the Philippines, NYK runs NYK-TDG Maritime Academy with its business partner Transnational Diversified Group, an enterprise established in 1976 by Jose Roberto Delgado, the group's current chairman. In addition to its business as a shipping agency, with the recruitment and education of seafarers, the group conducts air transport and logistics businesses, and is positively involved in fostering and recruiting Philippine seafarers and cadets.

"In the hope of aiding victims of the disaster through our supportive action as much as possible, NYK will continue its efforts to be proactively involved in contributing to society as a good corporate citizen," the shipping said.
