Fishery Mutual Aid Insurance Business - gyogyokyousaihokenjigyo

…(3) Fishing Gear Mutual Aid This is a mutual aid business based on property insurance, which pays out insurance money to fixed nets, purse seine nets, and drift nets when damage such as breakage or loss occurs during fishing operations. The fishery disaster compensation system is structured in three stages (two stages for fishing gear mutual aid business): the fishery mutual aid business conducted by the fishery mutual aid associations established nationwide, one in each coastal prefecture with contributions from the local fishery cooperatives and federations, as the direct insurer, the fishery reinsurance business conducted by the national federation of fishery mutual aid associations for the fishery mutual aid associations, and the fishery mutual aid insurance business conducted by the government for the fishery mutual aid associations (implemented for both fishery catch mutual aid and aquaculture mutual aid businesses). To ensure the smooth operation of the system, a separate Fisheries Mutual Aid Fund (a special corporation established under the Fisheries Disaster Compensation Law) was established to provide loans to cover shortfalls in insurance and reinsurance payments made by fisheries mutual aid associations. In October 1982, the fund was absorbed into the Central Fisheries Credit Fund, a government-approved corporation, and its operations were taken over.
