What did the students visit?

They toured the Safety Operation Supporting Center (SOSC) and learned that staff in office and crews at sea are united in supporting the ship’s safe operation 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In addition, three MOL employees who graduated from Nishiyamato Gakuen High School gave presentations about Role of the shipping industry and MOL Group businesses.

They also explained our environmental efforts such as the “Wind Challenger Project,” which aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by converting wind energy to propulsive force. Students also listened with interest to a presentation about MOL’s corporate venture capital firm, “MOL PLUS,” which actually created new businesses approved for commercialization through the MOL Incubation Bridge system.
