Various resources including iron ore, coal, and grain, are key to people's daily lives and to the world economy. Japan has always relied heavily on imports for these raw materials, and today's economic growth and enhanced international division of labor make global shipping more active than ever.
MOL operates the world's largest fleet of bulk carriers, offering stable, mass-volume transport of dry bulk cargo. We meet various customer needs with a range of specialized carriers designed and constructed for each cargo's characteristics and conditions at loading/unloading ports. These vessels include iron ore carriers that have become successively larger, coal carriers tailored to the needs of specific ports, and wood chip carriers that transport lightweight, high-volume shipments to the worldwide paper industry. With bulk carriers of all sizes, we have the flexibility to meet different customer needs and provide top-quality service. We also operate heavy lifters that carry massive cargo such as large-size machinery and plant equipment that are indispensable for industrial growth and cannot be moved on conventional vessels.

To achieve optimum transport needs
Demand for transport of iron ore and coal grows every year as steel product's demand increases around the world, particularly in China. We recently launched the world's largest iron ore carrier (300,000 deadweight tons). And we lead the field in the number of iron ore carriers, aiming to have 150 vessels in service by the end of March 2010.
In response to the expansion of the Panama Canal, we plan to introduce a new class of bulk carrier called the "Handy-Cape type." It is larger than those that currently use the canal, and give us the versatility to serve ports all over the world.
MOL's bulk carriers always evolve to meet various customer transport needs, with higher quality transport service, from anywhere to everywhere.
