■ Background of the Event
Under the Amended Logistics Efficiency Act, which fully came into effect in April 2026, shipper companies handling an annual cargo weight of 90,000 tons or more are designated as "Specified Shippers," and the following three points have become mandatory:
- Notification as a Specified Business Operator and Appointment of a Chief Logistics Officer (CLO)
- Creation and Submission of Notification of Mid-to-Long-Term Plans
- Periodic Reporting
However, a major misunderstanding has arisen in practical operations that "the most demanding submission of the mid-to-long-term plan is in October, so we only need to comply by autumn." In reality, the deadline for notification by specified business operators is the end of May, and the appointment and notification of a CLO must be done promptly after designation, meaning the time limit for compliance is imminent.
At this critical moment, this seminar will focus on "what must be done at a minimum right now." It will unpack government announcements and the legal background in an easy-to-understand manner, organizing the overall picture of practical tasks that can still be met in 60 minutes.

■ What You Will Gain from This Seminar
"Super Organization" of the Complex Legal System
Based on guidelines from METI and MLIT, we will concisely explain the background of the Amended Logistics Efficiency Act and the concept of specified business operators.
Clearing Up the "October Deadline" Misunderstanding and Presenting the Correct Roadmap
We will clarify the schedule for "Notification / CLO Appointment" that needs to be done immediately, and the "Plan Submission" that needs to be done by autumn.
The True Role of the CLO (Chief Logistics Officer)
We will explain the internal coordination and future practical issues required of a CLO, which goes beyond merely registering a name.
■ Recommended for the Following Companies:
- Shipper companies whose annual cargo handling weight is likely to exceed or has exceeded "90,000 tons"
- Those appointed as CLO but unsure of exactly where to start
- Management and logistics managers who believe that "compliance with the legal amendments can wait until autumn"
- Practical managers who are overwhelmed by too much information online and do not know what to trust
