[Hokkaido’s fishermen have always been vulnerable to the elements that threaten their harvests year in, year out. Yet, their resilience counted for nothing when the Covid-19 pandemic hit the island not once, but twice.
In late February, Hokkaido implemented strict containment measures as part of a three-week state of emergency to stem the spread of Covid-19. Soon after the lockdown was lifted, the government imposed another one within weeks as the island experienced a resurgence of the virus outbreak.
Allowing only essential services to operate, the restrictions brought an undercurrent of unease for many farmers and fishermen, whose livelihoods were at stake as they coped with issues such as labor shortage and flight cancellations.
Before March came to a close, they were dealt yet another blow.
All airlines suspended international flights from Sapporo’s New Chitose Airport, where Hokkaido’s prized seafood exports are air-freighted to countries around the world, leaving the fishermen and their fresh catches in limbo.
Satiating China’s appetite for seafood
Fast forward to June, a crucial period begins for scallop fishermen in Hokkaido, the largest producer of the premium delicacy in Japan, as it typically marks the start of a new harvest season that lasts till October.
However, with Covid-19 travel restrictions still in place, exporters from the region have been unable to fly scallops and other fresh produce directly to Hong Kong, the top importer of Japanese agricultural and marine products.
[caption id="attachment_7474" align="alignnone" width="1024"] DHL Global Forwarding's first chartered flight from Hokkaido to Hong Kong in June successfully shipped up to 29,000 kilograms of scallops and 600 kilograms of sea cucumber.[/caption]
“As countries took time to recover and travel restrictions remained firmly in place for weeks before being gradually lifted, there was an urgent demand to bring fresh perishable seafood to consumers outside of Japan,” explained Charles Kaufmann, CEO, North Asia South Pacific, DHL Global Forwarding and President/Representative Director, DHL Global Forwarding Japan K.K.
Stepping in to help the industry weather the crisis, DHL Global Forwarding Japan coordinated with local partners and authorities to swiftly organize the first and only direct freight service from Chitose to Hong Kong since the suspension of international flights from Hokkaido came into effect.

The chartered flights, which kicked off on June 12 this year, transport the island’s fresh seafood directly to Hong Kong — the largest export market for Hokkaido’s succulent scallops.

DHL Global Forwarding Japan celebrated its 100th chartered flight for these shipments on December 12 and continue to operate these flights five times a week from Chitose to Hong Kong using an A330-300 aircraft capable of carrying up to 35,200 kilograms.
For these flights, the landing fees have been waived by airport operator Hokkaido Airport Co. Ltd to promote more cargo charter flight operations to and from New Chitose Airport.

2020年2月下旬、新型コロナウイルスの蔓延を食い止めるために、北海道では3週間の非常事態宣言の一環として、厳格な封じ込め措置を実施しました。封鎖が解除された直後、離島での感染が確認されたため、政府は数週間におよぶ別の封鎖を実施しました。
封鎖期間中は、必要不可欠なサービスのみ営業が許可された状況の中、フライトの欠航などの問題が重なり、漁業や農業で生計を立てていた多くの北海道の生産者は先の見えない状況に不安を感じていました。

[Hokkaido’s fishermen have always been vulnerable to the elements that threaten their harvests year in, year out. Yet, their resilience counted for nothing when the Covid-19 pandemic hit the island not once, but twice.
In late February, Hokkaido implemented strict containment measures as part of a three-week state of emergency to stem the spread of Covid-19. Soon after the lockdown was lifted, the government imposed another one within weeks as the island experienced a resurgence of the virus outbreak.
Allowing only essential services to operate, the restrictions brought an undercurrent of unease for many farmers and fishermen, whose livelihoods were at stake as they coped with issues such as labor shortage and flight cancellations.
Before March came to a close, they were dealt yet another blow.
All airlines suspended international flights from Sapporo’s New Chitose Airport, where Hokkaido’s prized seafood exports are air-freighted to countries around the world, leaving the fishermen and their fresh catches in limbo.
Satiating China’s appetite for seafood
Fast forward to June, a crucial period begins for scallop fishermen in Hokkaido, the largest producer of the premium delicacy in Japan, as it typically marks the start of a new harvest season that lasts till October.
However, with Covid-19 travel restrictions still in place, exporters from the region have been unable to fly scallops and other fresh produce directly to Hong Kong, the top importer of Japanese agricultural and marine products.
[caption id="attachment_7474" align="alignnone" width="1024"] DHL Global Forwarding's first chartered flight from Hokkaido to Hong Kong in June successfully shipped up to 29,000 kilograms of scallops and 600 kilograms of sea cucumber.[/caption]
“As countries took time to recover and travel restrictions remained firmly in place for weeks before being gradually lifted, there was an urgent demand to bring fresh perishable seafood to consumers outside of Japan,” explained Charles Kaufmann, CEO, North Asia South Pacific, DHL Global Forwarding and President/Representative Director, DHL Global Forwarding Japan K.K.
Stepping in to help the industry weather the crisis, DHL Global Forwarding Japan coordinated with local partners and authorities to swiftly organize the first and only direct freight service from Chitose to Hong Kong since the suspension of international flights from Hokkaido came into effect.

The chartered flights, which kicked off on June 12 this year, transport the island’s fresh seafood directly to Hong Kong — the largest export market for Hokkaido’s succulent scallops. It is also the main gateway to China, which saw overall seafood imports increase by 39 percent in 2019 to ¥1.6 trillion (€13.3 billion).
DHL Global Forwarding Japan celebrated its 100th chartered flight for these shipments on December 12 and continue to operate these flights five times a week from Chitose to Hong Kong using an A330-300 aircraft capable of carrying up to 35,200 kilograms.
For these flights, the landing fees have been waived by airport operator Hokkaido Airport Co. Ltd to promote more cargo charter flight operations to and from New Chitose Airport.
Although shipment volumes have yet to return to pre-Covid levels, the first charter bound for Hong Kong earlier in June successfully shipped up to 29,000 kilograms of scallops and 600 kilograms of sea cucumber.] => 北海道の漁師は、漁を脅かす様々な要素に対して常に静観しています。それでも、新型コロナウイルスのパンデミックが北海道を襲った事態には、困惑せずにはいられません。
2020年2月下旬、新型コロナウイルスの蔓延を食い止めるために、北海道では3週間の非常事態宣言の一環として、厳格な封じ込め措置を実施しました。封鎖が解除された直後、離島での感染が確認されたため、政府は数週間におよぶ別の封鎖を実施しました。
封鎖期間中は、必要不可欠なサービスのみ営業が許可された状況の中、フライトの欠航などの問題が重なり、漁業や農業で生計を立てていた多くの北海道の生産者は先の見えない状況に不安を感じていました。
そして2020年3月末には、さらに大きな打撃を受けました。
全ての航空会社は、北海道の主要な空港であり、新鮮な生鮮魚介類を世界へ輸出していた新千歳空港からの国際便の運航を一時停止しました。

日本最大の生産地である北海道のホタテ貝生産者にとって、6月から10月まで続く出荷シーズンは重要な時期です。しかし、新型コロナウイルスの影響による渡航制限中のため、北海道の生産者は、ホタテ貝をはじめとする海産物を日本の農水産品の最大の輸入国である香港に直接空輸することができませんでした。
