MITSUI OSK Lines (MOL), while expressing heartfelt sympathy for the afflicted, has announced plans to make a donation of US$30,000 in aid to victims of Typhoon Haiyan, which devastated the central Philippines.
The main portion of MOL's donation will go to afflicted people on the island of Leyte, through its company Magsaysay MOL Marine, while Tokyo headquarters consider other ways to augment the relief effort as the situation unfolds.
MOL has deep relations with the nation as many Filipino seafarers serve aboard MOL vessels, and it has also established a maritime training centre in the country.
To assist afflicted people of Typhoon Fengshen in June 2008, which caused severe damage to the nation, Ketsana in September 2009 (Luzon), and Washi in December 2011 (Mindanao), MOL made monetary donations and provided ocean transport of emergency relief supplies, and MOL seafarers and Magsaysay-MOL employees conducted volunteer activities.
"The MOL Group hopes afflicted people will be able to return to normal life as soon as possible, and pledges a range of ongoing measures to support relief efforts," said the company press release.
