Concerning the transport route and approximate timing of the ship's arrival in Japan, the above parties originally announced on 2 November 1999 to release such information the day after the ship sailed. For operational reasons, however, the ship has been forced to alter its route. As a result, government agencies and private-sector parties in Japan, the UK and France have decided to announce such information three days after the ship?s departure. We ask for your understanding regarding this change.
