JAPAN's Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) says it has acquired 100 per cent of the issued
shares of Netherlands-based vessel manning services company Azalea Maritime.
The transaction was carried out on December
21, and the Azalea Maritime BV has changed its name to MOL
Maritime (Europe) on January 1, American Shipper reported.
MOL said the acquisition was part of
its aim of enhancing the stable supply of top-quality seafarers for
liquefied natural gas carriers and tankers.
"MOL will enhance providing
top-quality seafarers for MOL-operated LNG carriers and tankers and continue to
aim to become a world leader in safe operation," the Japanese shipping
line explained in a statement.
"MOL Maritime (Europe) BV, as a
manning company, will continue to support MOL safe operation, while inheriting
Azalea Maritime's accumulated experience with European seafarers and know-how
of the manning business," the company said.
