Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) has made its first move into the liquified CO2 ocean transport business.

Such investment means that MOL enter the liquified CO2 ocean transport business, which is positioned for significant growth in step with the increasing adoption of carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS).
