Japanese shipping giant MOL says its training vessel the Spirit of MOL has transported aid supplies for the Philippine government to assist with relief efforts in Iloilo state, which suffered severe typhoon damage.
At the request of the Philippine Department of Transportation and Communication, trainees on the Spirit of MOL and government staff loaded about 37 tonnes of relief supplies, including tanks for drinking water, blankets, and buckets onto the vessel. The ship left Manila on July 8, and arrived at the Port of Iloilo the following day, a company release said.
Upon arrival, 180 seafarers and trainees from the Spirit of MOL unloaded the supplies and then pitched in to help with cleanup activities at a church and an elementary school that were flooded during the storm. They stayed for about a week to assist with various relief efforts.
