Summary: Following the Kumamoto earthquake in 2024, three major parcel delivery companies have suspended cargo acceptance and parcel collections across the entire Kumamoto Prefecture, significantly disrupting local logistics networks. In addition, road restrictions, railway freight interruptions, and ferry delays or cancellations are causing widespread transport delays within key regional hubs impacting electronics supply routes in the area.
Risk Trigger: Natural Disaster – Earthquake Induced Transport Disruption
Strategic Detail: The suspension spans entire prefecture-wide operations including both last-mile delivery and regional freight, indicating a broad multi-modal logistics disruption that requires diversion planning for shipments destined to or through Kumamoto.
