Fishermen who are inland during a tsunami warning, etc are prohibited from evacuating offshore. This will be applied in all area in Iwate Prefecture. The news also mentioned about one fisherman experience that he ran his boat with a speed of 10 Knots but it was actually just 3 Knots against the tsunami.

USA - OREGON

Oregon is that it takes less than 20 minutes for the tsunami on our subduction zone to reach the coast, making it virtually impossible for those in the ports and harbors to evacuate offshore in time. Hence, our evacuation approach will ignore those already in port (evacuate to high ground only) and has focused on those already out on the ocean. For them, the recommendation is to proceed westward to deep water (~100 fathoms).
