With the opening of the Tokyo Olympics approaching about 10 days later, the Japan Coast Guard, which guards the water's edge mainly in the coastal areas where competition venues are concentrated, conducted training to deal with suspicious small boats.
The Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics are held at 43 competition venues mainly in Tokyo, and the Japan Coast Guard, which guards the water's edge in the coastal area where many venues are concentrated, is suspicious on the 12th at the sea near the Olympic Village in Chuo-ku, Tokyo. We conducted training for small boats.
The training used a small rubber boat with high mobility mounted on a patrol boat, and stopped a suspicious ship from running away at high speed by sandwiching it from both sides with two boats.
He also confirmed the procedure for the coast guard officer to transfer to the suspicious ship and control the operator by laying the boat sideways while running in parallel with the suspicious ship.
The Japan Coast Guard has not disclosed the scale of security during the tournament, but will collect patrol boats deployed nationwide and will be on guard 24 hours a day around important facilities such as the Olympic Village. ..
In addition, we plan to set up "self-restraint sea areas" in six sea areas, including the area around Harumi Pier in Tokyo, for about two months from the 13th.
Wataru Sasaki, Chief of the Security and Rescue Department of the 3rd Regional Coast Guard Headquarters, said, "Even if the event is held without spectators, the risk of terrorism does not change significantly. I was talking.
