Mitsui OSK Lines and Nagashiki Shipping have come in for criticism over the handling of the grounding of the 203,000-dwt Wakashio (built 2007) off Mauritius in late July.
The response to the incident on 25 July 2020 has been described as “insufficient” at several steps, while a “better strategy” could have “lessened the damage”, according to a leading crisis reputation management expert.
