MOL Group Partners with Royal Museums Greenwich to Promote Maritime Culture
In a significant development for maritime education and community engagement, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) is proud to announce its formal membership with Royal Museums Greenwich (RMG), marking the first time a Japanese shipping company has entered into a corporate partnership with this esteemed institution. The renewal of the partnership, effective from August 2024, aims to strengthen MOL's presence in the UK maritime community and promote the allure and significance of the shipping industry to the next generation.
This collaboration is not just about visibility; it’s a commitment to fostering a deep connection with the local community in London and beyond. Through this partnership, MOL Europe Africa Ltd. (MOLEA) will work alongside RMG to engage in activities that highlight the importance of maritime heritage. Educating employees about maritime history is at the heart of this endeavor, providing them with opportunities to learn and interact with various stakeholders in the maritime sector.
One of the notable initiatives this year was RMG's inaugural "Career Day," where employees from the MOL Group interacted with approximately 300 students from local schools. During this event, they introduced students to the shipping industry and explored diverse career options within it. This initiative not only empowers students with knowledge about potential career paths but also helps bridge the gap between education and industry.
Additionally, MOLEA employees participated in a community engagement project at RMG, where they adorned the ceiling panels of a children's room with gold leaf. This hands-on contribution is a testament to the MOL Group's commitment to giving back to the community and enhancing the experience of young visitors to RMG.
To further promote knowledge sharing, a talk by RMG experts on the evolution of ship design was organized at the London office of MOLEA. This event offered employees unique insights into the maritime field and sparked discussions on innovation in shipping technology.
The partnership with RMG provides MOL Group employees with invaluable opportunities to engage in social responsibility activities while deepening their appreciation for the UK’s maritime heritage. This not only enhances internal engagement but also aligns with MOL's broader mission of contributing to sustainable practices in shipping. As the company continues to develop its partnership with RMG, it remains dedicated to celebrating and preserving maritime culture for future generations.
RMG consists of several key museums and historic sites forming an integral part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as “Maritime Greenwich,” located in the southeastern part of London. Known as the reference point for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), Greenwich has historically played a vital role in nautical science and navigation.
Through educational programs and exhibitions, RMG offers visitors the chance to delve into maritime history, navigation techniques, astronomy, and the royal history of the UK. MOL Group’s ongoing partnership with RMG will help emphasize the importance of the shipping industry and its role in supporting logistics 24/7, while also advocating for a sustainable future. The partnership symbolizes a commitment to opening doors to a prosperous future through dedicated maritime efforts. In summary, this collaboration underscores MOL’s continued efforts to engage with the community and foster an appreciation for maritime culture; a step forward in bringing the maritime story closer to all, particularly the younger generation.
With this renewed commitment, MOL is eager to continue enhancing its corporate social responsibility initiatives while supporting the rich maritime tradition of the UK, ensuring that the legacy of the sea continues to inspire future generations.
