Mitsui O.S.K.Lines will shortly announce its latest mid-management plan.The three year business plan will become effective April 1.Seatrade had a sneak peak at what will be the way ahead for the Japanese shipping line,which runs the largest merchant fleet in the world,when we caught up with member of the board and senior managing executive officer,Koichi Muto in mid-February.MOL will work to reduce its container and car carrier exposure while looking to grow its energy and tanker business where it will pursue long-term contracts.In the past year MOL has reduced its box fleet by 25 ships to just over 90 vessels,while its car carrier fleet has shrunk from 100 to 72.The company will now 'gradually enter the offshore business' according to Muto,including FSRUs.
