March 23, 2011

TOKYO - Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President: Koichi Muto) today reported that the group companies listed below purchased food, water, and other daily necessities, and took them to the Ohi Logistics Center, Tokyo, where they were loaded into a 40-foot container and delivered by truck to the logistics warehouse in Sendai on the morning of March 23. This is part of our group-wide support program aimed at delivering aid supplies to victims of the 2011 Tohoku-Pacific Ocean Earthquake, using our group network and transport capabilities.

The group companies in Japan have purchased aid supplies from western and southern Japan, as well as from China and South Korea, and had them sent to the Ohi Logistics Center in Tokyo, which acts as aid supply hub, for delivery to destinations given by the authorities (including the Tohoku region disaster areas).

Further, MOL will donate ¥50 million to the relief fund, and we estimate that aid supplies will also total about the same amount in the final analysis.
