Transportation of personnel and equipment related to the withdrawal of the international rescue unit dispatched to Haiti
On January 12, 2010, a large earthquake occurred near Port-au-Prince,
the capital city of Haiti, causing enormous damage to the country.
The United Nations decided to strengthen MINUSTAH (the United Nations Stabilisation Mission in Haiti) established in 2004,
and requested member countries to dispatch personnel. In response to this,
Japan decided to dispatch a facility team and removed rubble from damaged buildings and performed road repairs. However,
the project ended in March 2013, and Sankyu handled the return of over 200 personnel dispatched to Haiti and the withdrawal of equipment filling 50 20-foot containers and over 100 articles of heavy machinery and vehicles.
