MOL Starts Safety Campaign

LONDON, ENGLAND, September 03, 2010

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL, President: Koichi Muto) today announced the launch of the semi annual Safety Campaign for all MOL-operated vessels. During the campaign, the company will publicise about the MOL goal of "four zeroes"- zero serious marine incidents, zero oil pollution, zero fatal accidents, and zero cargo damage.

The campaign is directed at realising the company's key objective of becoming the world leader in safe operation, as set out in the new mid-term management plan "GEAR UP! MOL." A key element of the campaign is a frank exchange of ideas, advice, and opinions between management and seafarers and other front-line personnel.

2. Theme

Further enhance the safe operation structure by sharing information and ideas within the company, and with other MOL Group-operated vessels.
