TOKYO-Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President & CEO: Takeshi Hashimoto) announced that on October 19, they conducted a tabletop drill based on a simulation of a serious marine incident involving a chemical tanker owned and operated by MOL Chemical Tankers.
Crisis response room
Upon receiving the initial report on the incident, MOL organised an Emergency Control Headquarters in the “Crisis Response Room,” which was newly established in March 2023, and via a large video wall and a web conferencing system, established communications linking the Head Office, overseas group companies, and the Safety Operation Supporting Center (SOSC).
Press conference simulation
Under the drill scenario, a fire broke out in the cargo hold of a chemical tanker as it was sailing fully laden off the southern coast of Izu Oshima. The vessel was deemed unsafe for crewmembers to stay onboard.
To reconfirm processes such as reporting and communication that are critical in an emergency, the time frame of the drill spanned from the occurrence of the incident to a simulated press conference, and verified the company’s capability to ensure smooth cooperation and information-gathering among concerned parties.
