Containerships
Update: 5/10/11

Today's containerships transport a wide variety of cargoes - from completed products, parts and components, raw materials, foods, and other general consumer products. This sector shows continual, steady growth in step with changes in the international division of labor and rising global population. MOL offers its own high-quality services and works closely with other major carriers, particularly through The New World Alliance (TNWA) with APL and Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM) on the east-west trade. We also provide stable, reliable services on trades serving emerging nations in Asia, South America, and Africa, meeting customer needs through an extensive network developed over long period of liner operation.
In the logistics business, MOL customers can count on our ever-expanding worldwide network and decades of accumulated expertise. By fully understanding customer needs, we can offer optimum solutions and a full range of services.
