MOL Invests in the Development of an Automated Logistics Facility in Singapore under the CapitaLand SEA Logistics Fund (CSLF)
January 08, 2026
TOKYO-Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President & CEO: Takeshi Hashimoto) today announced that it is investing in the development of an automated logistics facility in Singapore, "OMEGA 1 Singapore". This investment is made through MOL's existing interest in CapitaLand SEA Logistics Fund (CSLF)(note 1) which is managed by CapitaLand Investment (CLI; Head Office: Singapore), a leading global real asset manager with a strong Asia foothold.
This facility will be equipped with state-of-the-art technologies such as robotics, an automated storage and retrieval system and automated guided vehicles to support efficient end-to-end inventory management. This fully integrated automation ecosystem represents a significant leap forward in transforming traditional logistics operations into a highly intelligent and future-ready model. Additionally, OMEGA 1 Singapore will incorporate environmentally friendly design features and sustainable operational processes and targets to achieve Green Mark GoldPlus certification (note 2). Strategically located in the established Jurong Industrial estate, an area with a history of consistently high tenant occupancy and sustained logistical activity, the facility benefits from a strong and resilient operational environment. With access to major expressways and proximity to Tuas Checkpoint, Jurong Port and Tuas Mega port, OMEGA 1 Singapore is optimally positioned to play a pivotal role in advancing domestic logistics efficiency and regional trade integration.
Upon completion, the facility will be 100% master-leased to one of CSLF's capital partners, Ally Logistic Property (ALP; Head Office : Taiwan), a pioneer in smart logistics infrastructure based in Asia known for its OMEGA (note 3) warehouse model.

| Estimated Project Cost | SGD$260.0 million |
| Estimated Completion Date | 2028 |
This investment aligns with MOL Group's BLUE ACTION 2035 management plan, under which the Group is reforming its business portfolio to enhance stable profit-earning businesses and ensure profitability even during ocean shipping recessions. As part of this strategy, the group is expanding its logistics and industrial business, particularly through the growth of its "Logistics Infrastructure"(Note 4) segment. In line with the management plan's promotion of Regional Strategy to shift to a global business structure, these business investment projects are led by the Regional Organization for Southeast Asia and Oceania.

(Note 2) Green Mark GoldPlus : Certification awarded by a Building and Construction Authority of Singapore (BCA). It recognizes buildings that demonstrate exemplary environmental performance, including significant energy efficiency, water conservation, and the use of sustainable construction materials.
(Note 3) OMEGA: Designed by ALP, this is a large-scale automated warehouse model that centralizes warehouse systems. The warehouse is divided into a multi-story ramp-type handling area (truck lanes leading to the upper floors are provided for loading and unloading cargo on each floor) for warehousing and dispatching, and a completely unmanned area for storage of pallets board-shaped cargo platforms used for transporting and storing goods. This area features a vaulted ceiling structure equipped with automated cargo handling equipment such as electric cranes, automatically controlled racks, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs). The vaulted ceiling is intended to ensure the most effective use of space; multiple customers' cargoes can be handled simultaneously, making it possible to expand and contract storage space in pallet units according to each customer's actual cargo supply and demand.

(Note 4) "Logistics Infrastructure" projects refer to the ownership of logistics and industrial facilities, such as warehouses and factories, which are leased to cargo owners, forwarders and manufacturers. This is distinct from the MOL group's core logistics business, which is forwarding services that handle sea and air freight.
