However, there are competition venues such as swimming nearby, and during the tournament, traffic restrictions are planned on the surrounding roads, so the company assumes that the delivery capacity will drop to about two-thirds.

According to Daisuke Teruoka, a logistics officer at Suntory, "We want to be able to deliver products without delay during the summer when products are best sold."

In addition, Asahi, a major beer maker, has decided to change the import of wine and other products from Tokyo Bay to Yokohama Port.

In addition, the movement to respond to the risk of logistics disruption has begun among companies, such as starting this month to extend the period from the receipt of an order by a major food maker, "Kewpie", to the delivery of a product by one day.
