MOL & MOLMEC to Introduce Training Programs for SEP and SOV Crew~ Contributing to Safe Operation of Offshore Wind Power Projects ~TOKYO—Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President & CEO: Takeshi Hashimoto) and MOL Marine & Engineering Co., Ltd.
MOLMEC; (President: Takashi Nakashima) today announced the decision to launch a training program using Dynamic
Positioning (DP) System(Note 1) simulator, targeting crewmembers of Self-Elevating Platform (SEP) vessels and service
operation vessels (SOVs), which will be a support to offshore wind power generation projects. The two companies aimto complete the program and open the course at the MOL DP Training Center (Note 2) by the end of 2023.

Service Operation Vessel(Photo courtesy: Seajacks Japan Ltd)This training program will be open to a wide range of applicants from Japan and overseas not only to MOL Groupseafarers. DP system training opportunities are limited in Japan, and by opening its doors to a large number of trainees,
the MOL Group will contribute to the safe operation of work vessels, which are indispensable to floating offshore windpower projects. These offshore wind power projects are expected to begin operation in the late 2020s, that willcontribute to the creation of a decarbonized society. In recognition of the significance of this training program, it wasselected as a subsidized project in the Offshore Wind Power Human Resource Development Project administered by
the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, part of Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

The DP simulator operated by MOL and MOLMEC has already prepared training programs for a cable laying vessel
and an anchor handling tug supply vessel, and the two companies have added three new programs for ship operationand DP system operation training and SEP ship and SOV training, to provide a wide-ranging practical training
curriculum.

11. Training projects for manual operation ofanchor handling vessels and others required foroffshore wind power operations(Note 1) Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems can automatically calculate external forces such as wind, wave, swell, and tidal currents to maintain avessel at a fixed point or navigate a set route with precision. It is indispensable for cable laying ships, offshore wind power-related special-purpose
vessels, and seabed oil field-related offshore vessels to maintain their position precisely at a fixed point to do their work.
(Note 2) The MOL DP Training Center is located in the MOL Head Office building and is the first training center in Japan to be certified by The
Nautical Institute (NI; Headquarters: U.K.).
