MOL, as one of the world's largest LNG carriers, takes a proactive stance toward developing a wide variety of liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects around the world, based on decades of transport know-how and technical expertise as well as long-term, trusting relationships with business partners. Natural gas is drawing increased attention around the world as an abundant, environmentally friendly energy source, and demand is expected to increase sharply in the coming years. MOL continually provides safe, stable LNG transport and works hard to maintain its leadership in the LNG sector, serving as a key worldwide energy lifeline.
