Mitsui OSK Lines has secured fresh loans to finance six newbuildings after establishing a sustainable finance framework statement.

The Japanese group signed three transition loans and one transition-linked loan in December. It is also scheduled to conclude another transition-linked loan in January or February.

The loans will finance the construction of two LNG dual-fuel ferries, a bulk carrier equipped with MOL’s Wind Challenger sail, one LNG dual-fuel pure car/truck carrier, an LNG dual-fuel VLCC and one VLGC.
