Mitsui O.S.K. Lines,  announced that on October 19, it conducted a tabletop drill, based on a simulation of a serious marine incident involving a chemical tanker owned and operated by MOL Chemical Tankers.

Upon receiving the initial report on the incident, MOL organized an Emergency Control Headquarters in the “Crisis Response Room,” which was newly established in March 2023, and via a large video wall and a web conferencing system, established communications linking the Head Office, overseas group companies, and the Safety Operation Supporting Center (SOSC). The headquarters confirmed emergency cooperation and proceeded with a hands-on tabletop drill. MOL continually enhances its expertise in emergency response by simulating serious marine accidents and incidents through tabletop drills, raising safety awareness throughout the MOL Group and pursuing its goal of becoming “a world leader in safe operation.”
