The company failed to report the issue and tampered with warning sensors to continue service. This marks the ministry&#8217;s first-ever order to dismiss safety management personnel. JR Kyushu has pledged to rebuild its safety management framework to restore trust. <strong>Source: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jrbeetle.com\/news\/1846\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">JR Kyushu Jet Ferry <\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/QUEEN-BEETLE-WM-WEB-005.jpg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Administrative Action Taken Against Queen Beetle Ferry Operator\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-136521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/QUEEN-BEETLE-WM-WEB-005.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/QUEEN-BEETLE-WM-WEB-005.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/QUEEN-BEETLE-WM-WEB-005.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/QUEEN-BEETLE-WM-WEB-005.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &#038; Kyushu news and events in English.
