MOL Car Carrier

Overview - Temperature reduction for car carrier deck
     Applied - Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) 
     Region - Yamanashi Prefecture Japan
     Color - white (N-95)
Results
     Gaina was formally employed in covering the deck of a large car carrier.
     Lower deck temperature decreased from 149°F (65℃) to 100°F (38℃)
     The internal work environment had been greatly improved

Previously workers were exposed to large amounts of UV. In one week, the thermal environment changed drastically, and after a careful examination of the product it was decided to make it a standard specification. (Comments from MOL supervisor)
