Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. yesterday announced that the training ship Spirit of MOL has recently completed its final training voyage. Since its first training voyage in 2007, more than 2,200 cadets from such countries as India, the Philippines, and Russia have been trained aboard the ship. It also made important contributions to society through activities such as relief efforts after typhoon disasters, and received an award from House of Representatives of the Philippines, Lloyd's List Safety at Sea International Awards 2008, and others.
The new program provides training opportunities aboard vessels that are actually in service and allows cadets, guided by specialist instructors, to acquire basic safety education and gain a thorough understanding of the company's guiding principles of safe operation.

MOL forges ahead to become the world leader in safe operation in its midterm management plan GEAR UP! MOL, and sets the goal of 'Four Zeroes'-zero serious marine accidents, zero oil pollution, zero fatal accidents, and zero cargo damage. Toward achieving that goal, MOL continually provides full-scale training in both hardware and software aspects to upgrade seafarer skills and enhance safe operation.
