Mitsui OSK Lines Container Tracking

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL), headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, is one of the world’s leading maritime transport companies. Founded in 1884 and established in its current form following a 1964 merger, the company draws upon more than a century of shipping heritage. MOL is part of the Japanese “Mitsui” corporate group heritage (zaibatsu/keiretsu), and continues to benefit from that longstanding industrial and trading tradition.

MOL’s mission—“From the blue oceans, we sustain people’s lives and ensure a prosperous future” —reflects its ambition not only to move goods but to contribute to society and sustainable development. Its diverse fleet covers dry-bulk carriers, LNG and other gas carriers, oil and product tankers, containerships, car-carriers, ferries and RoRo vessels.

Throughout its history, MOL has been at the cutting edge of shipping innovation: for example, the company delivered one of the largest container vessels in the world in 2017, and it has supplied ice-breaking LNG carriers which operated via the Northern Sea Route.

Beyond transport, the company is investing heavily in future-oriented, sustainable “ocean-planet” projects: from offshore wind generation to ammonia and hydrogen-fuelled vessels, MOL is shifting toward low-carbon and renewable energy infrastructure.
