MITSUI OSK LINES (MOL) has announced that its 20,000-TEU MOL Truth has received the 'Ship of the Year 2017' award from the Japan Society of Naval Architects and Ocean Engineers (JASNAOE).
The award is given for the highest levels of technology, design, and social responsibility among vessels made in Japan by JASNAOE.
The MOL Truth, one of the world's largest containerships, earned high evaluations as a cutting-edge 'eco ship' that not only exemplifies MOL's safe operation and environmental conservation policies, but also makes full use of the most advanced telecommunication and IoT/AI technologies.
In addition, the judges regarded her as a historic milestone in Japan's shipbuilding industry because Imabari Shipbuilding adopted the latest technology and hull structure design, and because she was the largest containership ever built in Japan.
The MOL Truth in the Asia-Europe operated by Ocean Network Express (ONE) as one of the world's highest-capacity containerships.
