ビンゴ 景品
- Safely Visit a Ship Carrying Dangerous Goods with 'Vessel View VR' -

November 08, 2018

TOKYO-Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President & CEO: Junichiro Ikeda) today announced the introduction of the ビンゴ 景品 View VR, a virtual reality system that allows for virtual visits on the VLCC Suzukasan (delivered on October 12, 2018). This is the second ビンゴ 景品, following the car carrier Beluga Ace (Note 1) to feature this innovative technology. "ビンゴ 景品 View VR" combines "VR Solution," developed by NURVE, Inc. (President: Hideki Tada; Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo), with 360oC degree photos and videos taken at various areas onboard.

TheSuzukasan can transport about 300,000 tons of crude oil in a single voyage. It takes a long time to ビンゴ 景品 every area on this huge vessel-339.5m long and 60m wide. As a vessel carrying dangerous goods, safety rules are strict, particularly on deck, where any open flame and even electronic devices are prohibited. That makes it all the more difficult to keep records of everything during an in-person ビンゴ 景品. In addition, there are a fewer opportunities to ビンゴ 景品 the ship because it plies extremely long voyage.
