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."

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

3. Target vessels

Group company-operated vessels (ferries, cruise ships, etc.)
