Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) announced that the MOL-operated next-generation FLEXIE series car carrier received the Good Design Award (*) 2018, from the Japan Industrial Design Promotion Organization (JDP). This year, MOL’s FLEXIE won the award for the first time in nine years as the only winner from the shipping industry. Judges highly evaluated the design, saying. “It’s great that the FLEXIE realized unconventional innovation as an outcome of re-defining the car carrier. It’s notable that the space onboard the vessel was rearchitected using the design concept. Flexibly liftable decks allow loading of vehicles with different heights. As a result, loading efficiency was improved by 6.25% from the conventional type of car carrier, and this enables the vessel to meet new transport needs. Another point-the FLEXIE realized accuracy and a high level of safety by adopting augmented reality (AR) and latest IoT technology in its operational system.”
