Senior Managing Executive Officer Captain Masaaki Nemoto, who also serves as Director General of Safety Operations Headquarters, and many other ビンゴ 5 executives and staff members also participated in the conferences. Along with managers from in-house ship management companies and manning companies, they led active discussions of actual incidents and work-related accidents.

The Japan P&I Club was invited to the conferences in Manila and Tokyo to enlighten seafarers about healthcare issues.

Since 2007, the ビンゴ 5 Safety Conference has been held annually in the group's major seafarer source nations with the main objectives of exchanging opinions about safe operations among seafarers around the world so that they can enhance their awareness for safety. ビンゴ 5 continues its efforts to become "the world leader in safe operation" through those activities.

(Note): ビンゴ 5 sets the following four numerical goals as indices to measure safety, i.e., zero serious marine incidents, zero oil pollution, zero fatal accidents, and zero cargo damage.
