MOL and Höegh Autoliners establish JV in Europe

Tokyo-based Mitsui OSK Lines and Oslo-based Höegh Autoliners have set up a 50:50 joint venture in Europe, integrating the existing European short-sea and logistics activities of both shareholders and of Euro Marine Carrier.

The new company – Euro Marine Logistics – was registered in March 2011 and has its offices in Meise (Brussels), Belgium.

Euro Marine Logistics is a common carrier and started trading in the second week of June. From the third quarter 2011, EML will operate thirteen vessels in European waters, and will be among the top three vehicle short-sea operators in Europe.

Euro Marine Logistics‘ fleet includes small (750 cars), medium (1,500 cars) and large (>3,000 cars) vessels, with the support and the backup of the parent companies‘ deep sea services when using common ports or routes.

Euro Marine Logistics already operates an extensive service network in the Mediterranean, Continental Europe, UK and the Baltic.
