Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) provided a sneak peek of its exhibit at the Future Society Showcase in the 'Future City' segment of the 2025 World Exposition. The focus of MOL's showcase in the 'Transportation and Mobility' zone is the unveiling of its innovative zero-emission vessel named 'Wind Hunter.' This vessel leverages wind power, the ultimate natural energy source, to produce and transport hydrogen. The exhibition, themed 'WIND VISION,' combines a large, movable model of the Wind Hunter with an original video presentation on a large screen to illustrate the vessel's impact on everyday life, industry, energy, and social change.
Collaborating with Kawasaki Heavy Industries, MOL's booth at the 'Transportation and Mobility' zone offers a comprehensive experience for visitors. The showcase encompasses interactive displays, various videos, and special effects to immerse visitors in the concept of sustainable marine transport. Through hands-on exhibits, attendees are encouraged to rethink traditional notions of 'vessel' and 'marine transport' and explore new possibilities in mobility. The goal is to ignite interest in oceanic exploration and global environmental conservation, fostering a platform for co-creating a sustainable future. The exhibition aims to demonstrate the potential of hydrogen-powered transportation and highlight the importance of renewable energy sources in shaping the future of mobility and environmental sustainability.
