MOL to Sponsor and Exhibit in 'Human History of the Ocean' Special Exhibit at Intermediatheque
- Showcasing MOL's Cutting-edge Wind Propulsion Technologies, Including Wind Challenger and Wind Hunter -
July 05, 2024
TOKYO-Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President & CEO: Takeshi Hashimoto) today announced that it will sponsor the "Human History of the Ocean," which will feature its innovative wind propulsion technologies, at the University of Tokyo/Japan Post "Intermediatheque" (Note) museum from July 5 to October 6, 2024. The "Wind Challenger," a next-generation wind-assisted propulsion system and the "Wind Hunter," a seagoing green hydrogen production plant, will be on display at the museum, showcasing new ship forms based on cutting-edge wind-propulsion technology.
This exhibition introduces the latest theories on how our human ancestors crossed the oceans and interacted with each other. It will feature a wide range of content on humanity and the ocean from the perspective of how people will interact with the ocean in the future by designing and building ships and using state-of-the-art technology.
In the company's exhibit zone, visitors can see models of the Wind Challenger, the first vessel equipped with the system in 2022, and the Wind Hunter, a seagoing green hydrogen production plant that produces hydrogen from offshore wind and supplies it to users onshore.
MOL hopes everyone will take this opportunity to visit the venue and be inspired to think more deeply about how humans have spread across the oceans and around the world, and how we will evolve with the oceans in the future.
