MOL's permanent Mauritius team
The shipping group MOL has released its latest update of the capsized bulker "Wakashio" aground off the island of Mauritius. At the beginning of September, the "Mauritius environmental and social contribution team" was established.
It is part of the corporate planning division specialising in environmental restoration efforts in Mauritius, support for local communities, and liaison with the authorities and local communities regarding Mauritius' environmental and social issues. The team consists of three employees dedicated to this team, and ten employees who have multiple roles.
In the short term, the new team will focus on arranging logistics for equipment necessary for oil spill recovery and removal work. On a longer term, the team will seek for plans to restore the environment and assist the local community in Mauritius by coordinating with ecologists and conservation experts. (mw)
