Höegh-MOL opens office in Zeebrugge

Zeebrugge grew to become the largest car port in the world, with 2.8 million new cars shipped last year. One of the companies that grew strongly along with this was the specialised shipping company Euro Marine Logistics (EML). This joint venture of Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) of Japan and Höegh Autoliners of Norway was set up in 2011 to transport new cars between European ports. The commercial and operational centre for this shortsea network was established in Brussels. EML now has 40 employees and 17 vessels. These annually transport more than 1.3 million new cars between more than 25 ports in almost 20 countries, from Russia to Turkey and from Morocco to Scandinavia.
