- MOL Raises ¥55 Million to Assist
Rescue and Relief Efforts-
ROTTERDAM, 13 May 2011 – Mitsui
O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President: Koichi Muto) today reported that it has
donated a total of about ¥55 million to the Japan Red Cross Society and Central
Community Chest for the Great East Japan Earthquake relief efforts. MOL raised
the donation among MOL Group executives and employees through a massive,
group-wide effort to support victim relief and reconstruction of quake-stricken
areas, in which many of them
participated.
Immediately after the earthquake, MOL donated ¥50 million as a
company and then launched the fundraising drive within the group. The donation
initiative started in Japan, but soon MOL Group subsidiaries and affiliates,
ship management companies, business partners, and others around the world threw
their support behind the effort, and eventually a total of 88 companies took
part, including MOL, and the donation came to about \55 million. In addition,
seven overseas group companies have donated separately through their local Red
Cross organizations and other agencies.
 
The
MOL Group pledges continued efforts toward reconstruction of the quake-stricken
areas by providing vessels to transport aid supplies and other
activities.</DIV></BODY></HTML>
