JR Kyushu Jet Ferry applied to change the country of registration of the new Queen Beetle from Panama to Japan. The Panamanian ship would gain more flexibility to serve domestic routes after becoming a Japanese ship in March 2022. Approval for the application would be made as a special exception due to the pandemic, and some restrictions would be set for Queen Beetle’s domestic operations. Source: Yomiuri / Nikkei
