MOL-Operated Car Carrier 'ORCA ACE' Receives 2024 Best Quality Ship Award

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President & CEO: Takeshi Hashimoto) announced that the Japan Federation of Pilots’ Associations (JFPA) has presented its Best Quality Ship Award for fiscal year 2024 to an MOL-operated vessel-the car carrier ORCA ACE.

The award was founded in 2003 to raise awareness of port and ocean environmental protection through safe operation of vessels and is presented to “excellent vessels from the viewpoint of pilots,” as selected by the JFPA.

For the FY2024 awards, nine vessels, including the ORCA ACE, were selected from among those requesting pilot operations at pilotage districts throughout Japan. To date, numerous vessels related to MOL have received this award.

For FY2024, the JFPA conducted a comprehensive evaluation to assess efforts to properly maintain nautical equipment and boarding equipment, implement safety measures, and establish a cooperative system among mariners, including captains, for pilots who guide the vessels.

The results of this evaluation led to the selection of the winning ships.

As MOL forges ahead to become the world leader in safe operation, it continually strives to contribute to marine safety and conservation of the global environment, as a synergistic, sustainable company that grows in harmony with society.
