MOL starts LNG shipmanagement out of Hong Kong
Japan’s Mitsui OSK Lines’ (MOL) newly established LNG carrier management company, MOL LNG Transport (Asia), has begun shipmanagement operations with its first vessel, effective yesterday, April 18.
MOLLNG (Asia) was established in Hong Kong in September last year.
“As MOL becomes involved in the operation of a growing number of LNG carriers, it intends to play a central role in ship management, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, to meet an anticipated increase in LNG shipments bound for Asia,” the company said in a release today.
Currently, MOL is involved in the operation of about 70 LNG carriers, and aims to further expand its fleet.
