MOL holds safety conferences in Mumbai and Manila

JAPANESE shipping giant Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) recently held separate Safety Conferences in Mumbai and Manila.

MOL said in a statement that it has been holding the conferences annually since 2007 to explain and upgrade MOL Group safety programmes and encourage an open exchange of information, ideas and viewpoints on the subject.

2010 marked the fourth year of holding the conferences in which 70 officers took part in the event on February 9 in Mumbai and 120 participated on February 11 in Manila.

Said MOL president Akimitsu Ashida: "Even though the world economy still remains in a severe condition, our management policy, which places the highest priority on safe operation, will never change. I hope all of our seafarers will further brace themselves in order that MOL is regarded as the world leader in safe operation."

The next MOL Safety Conference 2010 is scheduled to be held in Zadar, Croatia, on March 12.
