Activities in Japan

Private-sector Company Training for Teachers

Since 1994, MOL has accepted participants in an internship program to instruct teachers about private-sector companies sponsored by the Keizai Koho Center-Japan Institute for Social and Economic Affairs. In 2011, MOL hosted 13 teachers from elementary and junior high schools in Tokyo for internship sessions and onsite observation that took place over 3 days during summer vacation in August. In addition to topics such as ocean shipping and an overview of MOL businesses, the internship sessions highlighted MOL's approach to CSR activities, and participants toured the Safety Operation Supporting Center (SOSC). As an opportunity to see MOL's operations up-close, they also visited Utoc Corporation's container terminal and distribution center in Ohi, Tokyo, visited cruise ship Nippon Maru, and experienced firsthand the bridge simulator of MOL Marine Consulting, Ltd.

Container Terminal Tours

Together with Group companies International Container Terminal Co., Ltd. and Shosen Koun Co., Ltd., MOL has for many years given tours of container terminals-trade gateways for Japan-to junior and senior high school students, as well as adults, out of a desire to teach people the roles played by ocean shipping and port operation.
In fiscal 2009, tours of container terminals in Tokyo and Kobe were held a total of 176 times.
