MOL Hosts Tour of Cutting-edge Car Carrier on Marine Day
-360 Students and Families Visit-

July 19, 2018

TOKYO-Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President & CEO: Junichiro Ikeda) today announced that on Marine Day, Monday, July 16, it hosted a tour of the cutting-edge car carrier Beluga Ace at Harumi Pier, in cooperation with the Japanese Shipowners' Association (JSA; Chairman: Koichi Muto; Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo).

The company welcomed about 360 elementary and junior high school students and their family members, who were selected in an online application process. The participants boarded the huge vessel – measuring about 200m long and 50m-high –and made their first stop in the engine room, where they listened to a presentation about the equipment, and a select few got to experience the start-up of the power generator. Then, participants observed a demonstration of high-precision loading of vehicles, and moved around the ship in some of the vehicles. After a greeting from the captain on the bridge, they got to see and touch nautical instruments and binoculars. Then, with specially made maps distributed at the reception desk on hand, they freely toured some onboard facilities such as the captain's quarters, a hydroponic vegetable garden, pool, and lounge. On the pier, meanwhile, students and their parents alike enjoyed a craft workshop session where they made replicas of the ship out of paper.

In addition to about 130 MOL Group executives and employees, the vessel's crewmembers took part in the event to talk about what it's like to work at sea.

Comments from some of the happy students included, "I had a good time-on the bridge and in the engine room, I had the chance to actually touch equipment I would never see ordinarily," "I was amazed at how fast they loaded the vehicles, and how little space there is between them," and "The crewmembers were cool! I want to work on a ship, too."

In addition, MOL Chief Officer Tomoko Hirayama was on hand as one of the panelists at a small seminar "Let's ask women who play active roles at sea" held on the same day. She talked about the attractiveness of working aboard a merchant ship.

The MOL Group as a team continues to promote activities that build the public's familiarity with ships and the importance of the ocean shipping industry to everyday life in Japan, with a special focus on children and students.


Students enjoy some hands-on experience in the engine room.


The visitors are impressed with the drivers' exquisite maneuvering skills.


The bridge is abuzz with excited visitors.
