MOL and Weathernews introduce Japan's first real-time ship display system

Tokyo:  Mitsui O.S.K. Lines  and Weathernews today announced development of the FMS.Globe, a system that displays vessels' operational status as well as marine and terrestrial weather, in real time.

Weathernews cooperates fully with MOL to ensure the safe management of MOL-operated vessels. The FMS.Globe is placed in the reception area on the seventh floor of the MOL Head Office. This is the first such comprehensive system introduced in Japan. It stands as a symbol of MOL's commitment to safe operation which is the highest priority for the entire MOL Group, and visually conveys a message of both companies' approach to safety management.  [28/09/09]
