The EBC stresses the <strong>need for clear, transparent criteria for Special Permits<\/strong> and urges MLIT to <strong>provide early and public clarification<\/strong> to ensure predictability for investors and developers.<\/p>\n<p>The EBC also highlights <strong>the risks of relying on \u201cunwritten\u201d\u00a0requirements \u2013 such as proving vessel unavailability or unrealistic\u00a0reflagging expectations\u2014which create uncertainty and discourage\u00a0international participation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Without meaningful changes, Japan risks\u00a0delays in offshore wind progress due to limited access to essential\u00a0vessels.
