Euro Marine Logistics NV (EML) was a European short sea roll-on/roll-off shipping and logistics company, with headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. It was originally jointly owned by Mitsui O.S.K. Lines and Höegh Autoliners, before MOL acquired full ownership in December 2019, and then absorbed the brand in April 2024.[1]
History
In 1990, Euro Marine Carrier B.V. (EMC) was established in Amsterdam, Netherlands by three partners, Nissan Motor Car Carrier (51%), Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (24.5%) and Höegh Autoliners (24.5%).
In 2011, after a change in share ownership, the assets of EMC were transferred to Euro Marine Logistics, which was based in Wemmel, Belgium as a venture between Mitsui O.S.K. Lines and Hoegh Autoliners.[2]
The company used to specialize in the domestic maritime transport and distribution of cargo such as automobiles, trucks, trailers, Mafi roll trailers, heavy construction machineries and further types of rolling freight.
On 1 April 2024, ceased to exist as an independent brand, and was fully integrated into the mother company Mitsui O.S.K. Lines.
Fleet
EML operated a fleet of fifteen ships with capacity of 33,000 CEU on six shipping routes.[3] It served 27 commercial ports in 17 different countries, operating in the Mediterranean Sea, North Sea and Baltic Sea. The company transported 950,000 CEU in 2015.[4]
Environment
Short sea shipping is the most ecological and cheapest mode of transportation.[5] EML used ultra-low-sulfur diesel, while being part of the Trident Alliance.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
