On September 25, MOL Managing Executive Officer Takaaki Inoue presented a vessel photo to Yuji Hayashi, Head of the Faculty of Maritime Sciences at Kobe University. Hayashi responded, “Students will be captivated by the sight of this merchant vessel and set their life goals. I think this is the beginning of such stories.”

Principal Okamoto, “Thank you very much for donating the photo of a vessel representing MOL. I will take pride in pointing out this photo to students.”
