Japan's Mitsui OSK Lines acquires stake in V Ships France

V Ships France is set to maintain its current operations and staff at its base in Nantes without any changes to the local team.

The managed fleet will also continue to utilise V Ships’ proprietary marine digital platform alongside technical services provided by the parent group.

Robert Desai, Chief Executive Officer of V Ships, stated that Mitsui OSK Lines is an important partner to the firm.

Jun Kanda, representing MOL Euro Energie, noted that the relationship between the two entities spans many years. “This expanded partnership, including our equity investment in V Ships France, reflects the depth of confidence we have in their team and their capabilities,” Kanda said.
