Damage to Kusaya's refrigeration equipment Surpassed by emergency response Izu Islands Niijima September 13, 16:02
In Niijima, the Izu Islands, some of the refrigeration equipment that stores fish for making special products is broken, making it an emergency response.
The Niijima Ice Refrigerator near Niijima Fishing Port stores specially made wedges and raw fish.
On the roof of the facility, there was a tank about 3 meters in diameter containing water used to cool the freezer, but it was blown off by a typhoon and fell about 10 meters below the ground.
For this reason, it was temporarily impossible to cool down, and there was a possibility that we couldn't use the items and fish that we had stored, but this means that we are drawing in tap water and holding it somehow.
In the morning of this facility, a container with a refrigeration function, which was sent by Tokyo Metropolitan Government as relief goods, arrived and was commissioned on the premises.
Mr. Seiji Yamamoto, who manages the freezer, said, “Currently, it's a lot of work to keep it functioning, and we can't think of a full-scale recovery in the future.”
