運送保険で不正請求　データ改ざん、１５０件―日本通運

　日本通運は６日、積み荷などに掛ける運送保険を巡り、一部事業所で不適正な保険金請求が確認されたと発表した。保険契約に関するデータや書類を改ざんし、保険契約がない荷物で保険金を請求するなどしていた。
　契約は損害保険ジャパンとの間で締結。日通はデータを保管している過去２年間を対象に調査を進めており、不正請求は最大１５０件、計８２０万円に上るという。
　同社は「損害保険の考え方から逸脱するものだ」と陳謝。今月末をめどに調査を続け、実態の解明と再発防止に取り組むとしている。（2024/12/06-21:46）

Japanese logistics giant Nippon Express Co. has said that inappropriate insurance claims were confirmed at some of its business offices over transportation insurance for cargoes.
   The offices falsified data and documents related to insurance contracts and claimed insurance money for cargoes without insurance contracts, according to the company's announcement on Friday.
   The contracts in question were concluded with Sompo Japan Insurance Inc. Nippon Express is currently scrutinizing the past two years' records, uncovering up to 150 fraudulent claims amounting to 8.2 million yen.
   Nippon Express apologized for the fraudulent claims, saying, "They deviate from the concept of nonlife insurance." It plans to continue its investigation through the end of this month to clarify the full extent of the issue and implement measures to prevent a recurrence.
   The problem came to light in June during an inspection at a Tokyo office of Nippon Express. Subsequently, similar irregularities were identified at 27 business offices of the company, with some insurance claims surpassing the coverage specified in the contracts.
