Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, announced that with the aim of integrating the MOL Group’s ship management functions and enhancing safety operations, MOL has renamed its wholly owned subsidiary  to MOL Global Ship Management  on July 22, 2025. Moving forward, MOLGSM plans to manage more than 200 vessels, including LNG carriers, dry bulkers, and tankers, serving fields where MOL Group has built up decades of experience and know-how.

By integrating in-house ship management companies that have been divided by ship type, MOLGSM will be able to share best practices across different ship types and strengthening capabilities in adopting new technologies, such as environmentally friendly ship management. This initiative will contribute to the optimization of group-wide operations and improve overall competitiveness. In addition, by integrating the IT systems, MOLGSM will standardize operations and improve operational quality. The company will also enhance employee engagement by flexibly assigning personnel to growth areas and offering diverse career paths. MOLGSM will address various common challenges across different ship types, such as the management of environmentally friendly ships, as a unified organization.

This integration will further accelerate initiatives to achieve the goal of “Leading in Safety”, as set forth in the “MOL Group Safety Vision”  established and announced by MOL in January 2024.
