Liquified Gas Carrier Business

Outline of Services

Aiming at Stable Transport of Emerging Clean Energy Resources

Demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) has been increasing as an environmentally friendly, clean energy source. MOL has accumulated considerable expertise in this field since 1983, when we first participated in LNG transport, and is proud to be in the forefront of LNG carrier ownership, management, and operation. In 2018, we became the first Asian shipping company to operate an ice-breaking LNG carrier for the Yamal LNG project, and pioneered the Northern Sea Route, moving ahead with our cutting-edge initiatives.

MOL manages its LNG carriers through six companies around the globe, in Tokyo, London, Singapore, Jakarta, Muscat (Oman), and Arzew (Algeria), maintaining safe operation with advanced transport technologies and highly skilled personnel.

In 2016, building upon our extensive experience and know-how acquired in both the LNG carrier and LPG carrier fields, MOL began operating the world's first very large ethane carrier in a strategic tie-up with Reliance Industries Limited in India.

MOL continually strives to provide safe, reliable ocean transport services to meet demand for liquefied gas, a sector where we anticipate robust growth in the future.
