Outline of Services

The MOL Group's tugboat business, which locates in ports where all kinds of large vessels call, supports vessels in arriving and leaving port, berthing and unberthing, avoiding hazards, and other operations. In addition, our business covers the transportation (towing) of offshore wind power generation equipment, port facilities, etc.

Through a group company, MOL is working to precisely address these needs, and help protect the environment by introducing new types of tugboats including the first LNG-fueled ISHIN in western Japan, working to develop the fleet. At the same time, we are striving to improve the maintenance of equipment and instruments and upgrade the skills of crewmembers with enhanced safety training with the goal of efficient, accident-free operation.
