From what I gatheted from JP news outlets an activist org had some outreach that they have high school students on the ship. Students were killed in such activity during their field trip.
The activist org did not have license to carry people as an organization or business, and are currently under investigation whether their safety measure was sufficient.
The conflict may be the root cause but this looks safety issue than political one.





Its symbolic move of defiance. Calbee has been queried by the govt for contradicting their “no shortage” claim.
Petrol firms in Japan suggested the cabinet to take measure in reducing demands bcs they knew the numbers better in April but govt ignored.
Calbee didn’t retract their decision aftet queried. The shortage is true, it’s a marketing to make it clear.
