Takeyuki Takahashi, President, Representative Director, and CEO of MITSUI E&S Co., Ltd., has delivered a message for all new employees. It is summarized below.

Congratulations to all of the new employees on their joining us.
On behalf of MITSUI E&S, I would like to extend a hearty welcome to you.

Since our founding 108 years ago, the times have changed significantly and the environment surrounding us has also undergone great changes. As the saying goes, "It is not the strongest that survive, but those who adapt to change." Our company has continued to evolve in response to the changing times and circumstances, leading to our current situation.

Recently, we changed the name of our company from Mitsui Zosen (=Shipbuilding) to MITSUI E&S, with E&S standing for "Engineering & Services for Evolution & Sustainability." This reflects our purpose of contributing to the achievement of a sustainable society through our engineering and services.

Our mission is "We build trust and contribute to society through our engineering and services." Additionally, we have identified "creating a decarbonized society" and "resolving issues faced by a society with a shrinking population" as material issues. We aim to solve social issues through green and digital initiatives leveraging our technological resources.

In today's world, characterized by global climate change, disaster, pandemic, conflict and war, the pace of change is particularly rapid and uncertain. It is challenging to determine business strategies for sustainable growth in these times. However, I believe that these very circumstances present business opportunities. Moreover, precisely because of these conditions our company is brimming with excitement at being able to take on various challenges.

Therefore, I would like to share three points that I hope everyone who is becoming a member of the MITSUI E&S Group today will keep in mind.

The first point is to love your business and products. It is extremely important to love the business and the products you are involved in while working. We always think about how we can contribute to solving social issues by utilizing our technological resources. Therefore, all the work you will be engaged in going forward is connected to contributing to solving the various social issues around us. I hope you will be aware of this and come to love the business and products that you are involved in, and that you will enjoy your work. If you love your work, take pride in it and approach it with a large degree of motivation, this will result in personal growth and the growth and development of the company.

The second point is to create your own grand design. A grand design means setting future goals and drawing a path to reach them. I hope you will carefully consider questions like "What do I want to do?" "What kind of professional do I want to become?" and, "What value can I provide to the world?" and have a long-term vision for yourself.

When we launched our new system in 2023, we significantly revised various personnel systems. One of these is the goal management system. The goal of this system is to align individual goals with departmental goals, business unit goals and company-wide goals, thereby achieving the sustainable growth of the company and connecting personal growth to company growth. For new employees, it may be difficult to create a perfect grand design from the beginning, but I hope you will gain experience through your work, learn and develop a long-term vision for yourself.

The third and final point is to have an attitude of taking on new challenges without being bound by precedent. Today is said to be an era of uncertainty when it is difficult to predict the future. As technology advances, values become more diverse, and the business environment changes drastically, sticking to the same methods and merely following precedent will not result in the growth of the company. Rather, it will leave us behind the times. I always emphasize breaking away from precedent. As times change and society evolves, simply adhering to past precedent will result in stagnation and missed opportunities for growth. Our company has changed its name and structure precisely to break away from precedent and pave the way to a new future. I hope you will become individuals who create new value and boldly take on new challenges to transform the company with fresh perspectives and observations, fully demonstrating your individuality and spirit of taking on challenges.

This year, we are very pleased to welcome people with diverse backgrounds to our company. I am confident that the various cultures, experiences and perspectives you bring will expand new possibilities for our company. We look forward to your growth and success.

MITSUI E&S Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President: Takeyuki Takahashi, hereinafter "MITSUI E&S") has obtained the first vessel arrival assessment from the New Zealand regulatory authority (hereinafter "MPI*1) "). The biofouling report produced for this vessel arrival by the new fouling control method*2 "FALCONs" has been confirmed to comply with the MPI Craft Risk Management Standard (CRMS*3)) for Vessels. This comes after 'one-year joint trial of Fouling control' with a Japanese launch customer.

Contamination by aquatic organisms adhering to the hull and propeller not only reduces the propulsion performance of the ship and worsens fuel efficiency but also can affect native ecosystems with invasive species, making it a major issue both on ship operation/management and compliance. The new fouling control service "FALCONs" contributes to 'Reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions for ship operation' along with 'Reducing the risk of ecosystem transfer' through advanced fouling control.

FALCONs is a service that integrates 'Propulsion Performance Analysis' based on engine operation data and voyage record data with 'Fouling Evaluation' based on both AI and physical assessment of underwater inspection. It makes it possible to quantitatively grasp and predict the deterioration of propulsion performance due to fouling and the improvement due to cleaning. As a result, we provide services that 'Provide effective cleaning, in time and range' and 'Quantifying the fuel and CO2 reduction effect of such cleaning' to shipping operators who previously relied on other methods including, experience and intuition for cleaning decisions and whom now want to evaluate quantitatively the cleaning effect.

Furthermore, it was confirmed that a biofouling report produced with the new fouling management method using both propulsion performance analysis and hull fouling evaluation by "FALCONs" meets the recommended method of Continual maintenance using best practice specified in MPI's CRMS, and our first New Zealand vessel arrival using the new method has been assessed as fully compliant by MPI. By continual maintenance by propulsion performance monitoring and fouling 'AI' evaluation, using FALCONs it is possible to obtain port arrival clearance in accordance with CRMS's Continual maintenance using best practice while reducing unnecessary hull cleaning.

■Service Overview

Service name	Fouling Control Service "FALCONs"
Functions	Propulsion performance analysis, fouling AI judgment, fouling progression prediction, propulsion performance prediction
Outputs	Propulsion performance monitoring (browser), reports (voyage/inspection/cleaning/annual)
Benefits	Quantification of fuel reduction effect by cleaning, reduction of unnecessary cleaning

■FALCONs development process

MPI: MITSUI E&S and MPI discussed the approach of FALCONs to comply with the CRMS's recommended continual maintenance, which it did, as noted above our first vessel complied on arrival into NZ.

Mr. Hideo Terada, General Manager, Fresh Carriers Co., Ltd. (Launch Customer): 'The reduction of ecosystem transfer risk through the application of the new fouling management method is beneficial for our company, which frequently calls at NZ ports, and the ability to contribute to our customers by reducing CO2 emissions during navigation through proper hull and propeller cleaning control is also an attractive feature of this service'.

■Future Developments:

We aim to expand the fouling management value chain for our shipping operation customers by connecting data with our engine maintenance services (CMAXS LCA etc.), as well as collaborating with cleaning service providers, anti-fouling paint suppliers, and also cleaning robot suppliers.

Through the provision of engineering and services, our company, which aims to create a decarbonized society and solve issues of a society with a shrinking population, will contribute to solving marine-related issues by providing highly reliable services that contribute to 'CO2 emission reduction' and 'digitalization'.

MITSUI E&S Co., Ltd.
Tomakomai Kuribayashi Transportation Co., Ltd.
Hino Motors, Ltd.

MITSUI E&S Co., Ltd.(Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takeyuki Takahashi; hereinafter "MITSUI E&S") together with Tomakomai Kuribayashi Transportation Co., Ltd. (Headquarters : Tomakomai, Hokkaido; President: Hidemitsu Kuribayashi ; hereinafter " Tomakomai Kuribayashi Transportation ") and Hino Motors, Ltd.(Headquarters: Hino City, Tokyo ; President: Satoshi Ogiso; hereinafter " Hino Motors ") conducted a demonstration experiment at Tomakomai International Container Terminal from January 11th to 13th, 2025, under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Port Technology Development Program, "Technical Development for Advanced Operation of Landing Trailers in Container Yards.

In the port industry, in addition to the worsening labor shortage stemming from the 2024 (logistics) problem, the aging of workers at Tomakomai Port and other regional ports has made it necessary to improve the working environment, to enhance safety, and to secure young workers who will lead the next generation.
To solve these issues, Tomakomai Kuribayashi Transportation, which handles port logistics at the Port of Tomakomai, Hino Motors, which provides vehicles, and MITSUI E&S, which builds Terminal Operation Systems (TOS), conducted a demonstration experiment to test the sophistication of trailer operations that transport containers unloaded from ships to storage locations, and from storage locations to loading locations.
Currently, drivers operate vehicles based on paper instructions at ports, but in the demonstration experiment, trailers with driver assistance functions^*1 operate based on work instructions from the terminal operation system^*2, reducing the workload of drivers and allowing them to concentrate on ensuring safety while driving. This sophisticated operation test was conducted in actual operations, and the availability and usefulness of the developed technology was confirmed through verification of the following items.

Verification details
-Data linkage between TOS, vehicle control system and vehicles.
-Positive arrival and departure linkage to port equipment such as gantry (ship-to-shore) cranes and RTGs ^*3
-Operation in line with actual cargo handling, such as back-and-forth adjustment of vehicles by control devices from outside the vehicle and turning to accommodate container direction (front/door).
