MOL owns large-size (over 200,000 DWT) crude oil tankers, called very large crude oil carriers (VLCCs) and mid-size tankers, known as Aframax-class vessels, which help ensure a stable supply of crude oil around the world. We also offer a full lineup of vessels that meet the characteristics of all types of liquid cargoes-product tankers for refined petroleum products including gas oil, naphtha, and gasoline, chemical tankers for liquefied chemical products, methanol carriers, and LPG carriers.
