On 6 October, Suryan Wirya-Simunovic, CEO & Director of MOL (Europe Africa) Ltd, joined the opening panel at the UK Chamber of Shipping’s conference, Shipping UK, held at the QEII Centre in London. The event brought together global shipping leaders, policymakers and experts for a day of insight and debate on the maritime sector’s future.

Speaking on the opening panel, “The triple imperative: How sustainability, security and regulation define the 2030 maritime landscape”, Suryan reaffirmed MOL’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 through technology and fuel optionality. He also emphasised the importance of a predictable, globally aligned regulatory framework to support confident, long-term decision-making.

The wide-ranging discussion explored several key priorities for the industry:
• Decarbonisation challenges across different shipping segments
• Energy efficiency as a means of progress within our operational control
• Alternative fuel pathways and regulatory alignment
• Freedom of navigation, security and resilience
• Seafarer recruitment, upskilling and retention

A central message emerged: sustainability, security and regulation cannot be treated as separate discussions. Progress on decarbonisation and the foundations of the maritime sector depend on secure global trade, resilient supply chains and regulatory certainty.

During the day, Alex Green, Head of New Fuels at MOL (Europe Africa) Ltd, also shared insights into MOL’s multi-fuel approach to decarbonisation, highlighting our ongoing efforts and practical experience in supporting a pragmatic and resilient transition towards a more sustainable future. With MOL's roots in the UK dating back to 1917, we also discussed our work across the UK innovation ecosystem including our engagement with academia and investment in emerging technologies.

DP World and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) have signed a term sheet setting out the framework for a proposed new automotive logistics and processing facility at Jebel Ali Port, marking the next step in their long-standing collaboration.

The proposed facility would bring vehicle storage, pre-delivery inspection and other value-added services together in one port-side location, expanding storage capacity and strengthening vehicle trade flows between car manufacturing centres in Asia and fast-growing markets across the Middle East and Africa.

The planned development would support the long-term growth of the automotive trade through the region’s principal gateway, which handled nearly 1.1 million vehicles in 2025.

We look forward to continuing these discussions and building on the long-standing relationship between DP World and MOL.

MOL Ocean Bulk Pte. Ltd. has signed a 25-year contract with Vale International S.A. to transport iron ore using two next-generation ore carriers.

The project will introduce the world's first 210,000-metric-ton ore carriers equipped with a tri-fuel propulsion system capable of running on ethanol, methanol, and conventional heavy fuel oil. Scheduled for delivery in 2030, the vessels will primarily support Vale's transoceanic iron ore transportation as part of its Shipping decarbonization strategy.

In addition to tri-fuel engines, the vessels will feature LNG/ammonia-ready designs and a range of advanced energy-saving technologies. This flexibility in fuel selection will help broaden practical pathways for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in marine transportation.

Ethanol could potentially reduce carbon emissions by up to approximately 90% compared with heavy fuel oil on a full lifecycle basis, from fuel production through consumption (based on information provided by Vale). As a renewable fuel that is relatively easy to handle, ethanol is attracting increasing attention for wider marine fuel applications.

Aligned with MOL Group's BLUE ACTION 2035 Phase 2 environmental vision, these vessels will support both MOL's decarbonization goals and the reduction of Vale's marine transport-related Scope 3 emissions. Beyond vessel operations, MOL will continue working with customers and partners across the fuel supply chain, from procurement and supply to bunkering, to advance shipping decarbonization and sustainable resource transportation.

Japan Engine Corporation (J‑ENG) and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (Kawasaki), together with Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL), MOL Drybulk Ltd., Onomichi Dockyard Co., Ltd., and Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK), are jointly engaged in NEDO's Green Innovation Fund Project "Development of Marine Hydrogen Engines and MHFS."

As part of this project, J‑ENG has been developing a fully Japan-made, large, low-speed, two-stroke hydrogen-fueled engine. The world's first full-scale engine intended for installation on an actual vessel, 6UEC35LSGH, has successfully begun hydrogen co-firing operation in all cylinders. To date, the engine has achieved a hydrogen co-firing ratio of over 95% at 100% load, confirming both GHG reduction effects and stable operation.

Once full-scale verification is complete, the engine is scheduled for shipment in January 2027 and will be installed as the main engine of a 17,500-DWT hydrogen-fueled multi-purpose vessel designed and built by Onomichi Dockyard. The vessel is scheduled to undergo three years of demonstration operation starting in FY2028 under the operation of MOL and MOL Drybulk.
