Biofuel - usable in existing ship engines without modification -has emerged as a powerful pathway toward low‑ and zero‑carbon shipping. MOL has set its sights on a unique energy crop developed through advanced genetic improvement and grown across vast “marginal lands,” areas unsuitable for food crops but ideal for hardy energy plants.
This crop requires only about 1.5 hours of labor per day, allowing farmers to continue growing food crops alongside it while securing stable income and supporting rural livelihoods. What is this plant that benefits both people and the planet?
Follow MOL’s journey as it explores how this sustainable crop and the biofuel derived from it could transform the future of marine transport.

船舶の既存エンジンを改造することなく使用でき、低・脱炭素化を実現するための有効な選択肢「バイオ燃料」。
商船三井は、遺伝的改良を重ね、広大な「周縁地」（食用作物には不適だが、耐性のあるエネルギー植物には理想的な土地）を耕作してきたある企業とバイオ燃料の原料となる作物に注目しました。
栽培にあたって労働時間が少なく（1日1.5時間）、農家は食用作物を並行して栽培でき、安定した収入と農村の生活を支えるという利点もあるこの作物とは？
地球にも人にも優しい作物とそこから作られたバイオ燃料を海上輸送に活用しようと模索する商船三井の試みを、ぜひ目撃してください。

MOL participated in the Island States Ocean Summit 2026, held from June 3 to 4, 2026. The summit, hosted by The Nippon Foundation in partnership with Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and IOC through the Ocean Decade, brought together heads of state, government leaders, and technology and financial partners.

Under the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030), the summit aims to strengthen evidence-based, climate-resilient, and sustainable ocean planning and management.

On June 4, Toru Hikima, Chief Sustainability Officer of MOL, participated as a panelist in the session “Low Carbon Ocean Economy,” which explored the role of Sustainable Ocean Planning and Management (SOPM) in advancing the transition to a low-carbon ocean economy.

During the session, he emphasized that achieving net-zero emissions in international shipping requires ambitious GHG reduction targets and concrete regulatory frameworks, including economic instruments such as carbon pricing and clear fuel regulations. He also highlighted the importance of institutional frameworks within SOPM that enable decarbonization efforts to translate into competitive advantages.

Under its management plan BLUE ACTION 2035 Phase 2, MOL has positioned environmental initiatives as a core strategy and is promoting efforts to achieve its medium- to long-term targets, including net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. Through these initiatives, MOL will contribute to the decarbonization of the shipping industry as a whole, in alignment with the objectives of SOPM.

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd., together with Delfin Midstream, Inc., a group of investors led by Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), a part of BlackRock, and Vitol, has reached a Final Investment Decision (FID) and decided to participate as an investor in an offshore floating liquefied natural gas (“FLNG”) project.

Delfin FLNG 1 will be the first floating liquefaction facility in the United States and the largest FLNG project globally, with an annual LNG production capacity of 4.4 million tons and first production expected in 2030. MOL plans to invest approximately USD 300 million (about 23% of total equity), becoming the first Japanese shipping company to invest in an FLNG project.

Following its initial investment in Delfin Midstream, Inc. in 2023, MOL has supported project development and completed a commercial evaluation of Delfin FLNG 1, leading to this FID.

Delfin FLNG 1 has secured all required permits and long-term LNG sales agreements with major global players including Vitol, Gunvor, Centrica, and Expand Energy. A construction contract with Samsung Heavy Industries will be executed as the project moves into the ex*****on phase.

In addition to participating as an investor, MOL will support the project through its technical expertise in offshore floating facilities cultivated through projects such as Floating Storage and Regasification Units (FSRU), its operational and safety know-how in ship-to-ship cargo transfer operations, and its financial expertise.

By participating in this FLNG project, MOL will expand its LNG business across the entire value chain—from production to transportation, receiving, and regasification—and contribute to the diversification, stability, and decarbonization of global energy supply.

MOL was pleased to present its perspective on biomethane at Renewable Gas Markets Asia 2026, where we shared our approach to utilizing biomethane—particularly bio-LNG—as part of the maritime sector’s decarbonization pathway. As one of the commercially available solutions today, biomethane plays an important role in our future fuel portfolio, alongside other alternative fuels, as we work toward achieving net-zero emissions.

In the presentation, we highlighted the importance of scaling biomethane adoption beyond Europe, including the need for globally harmonized regulations and expanded certification frameworks. We also emphasized MOL’s ongoing efforts to secure supply, including expanding LNG dual-fuel vessels and exploring global opportunities, including upstream project development, to support long-term demand.

We also joined a panel discussion with representatives from the chemical industry, where we exchanged views on biomethane from different sector perspectives. While approaches and priorities differed across industries, we identified key areas of alignment and mutual challenges.

A common takeaway from the discussion was that stronger cross-sector collaboration is essential to accelerate biomethane adoption and scale up supply. Continued cooperation across industries will be key to unlocking the full potential of biomethane and advancing the transition toward net-zero emissions.

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. has signed its first annual LNG bunkering contract for car carriers at the Port of Vancouver with Seaspan Energy Ltd., and completed the first bunkering on April 29.

Following the first LNG bunkering on the West Coast of North America by a Japanese shipping company in March 2025, MOL has continued to expand its operations in the region. As North America remains a key trade lane for car carriers, establishing a stable LNG fuel supply has become increasingly important with the introduction of new LNG-fueled vessels. This contract marks another step toward building a seamless regional LNG supply framework.

MOL will continue expanding the service areas for LNG-fueled vessels and support the growth of a cleaner supply chain.

Under the “MOL Group Environmental Vision,” the adoption of alternative fuels is a key strategy toward achieving net-zero GHG emissions. LNG will play a central role in the group’s short- to mid-term transition to a low-carbon society.

MOL PLUS has made an additional investment in Innovative Space Carrier Inc. (ISC), a company developing, manufacturing, and launching reusable rockets.

Since 2024, the MOL Group and ISC have been working together to explore offshore rocket launch and recovery operations, combining startup-driven innovation with the Group’s experience and safety expertise in ocean shipping. In the same year, MOL PLUS made its initial investment in ISC.

In April 2026, MOL and ISC jointly obtained Approval in Principle (AiP) for the basic design of an unmanned, autonomous offshore rocket recovery vessel. The two companies are now continuing their studies toward practical application, with demonstration tests targeted for the 2030s. This additional investment is intended to further strengthen that collaboration.

MOL PLUS continues to work with startups to create synergies between innovative technologies and the MOL Group’s resources, aiming to generate new businesses and create added value for the ocean shipping industry and society.
