PSA, MOL unveil joint venture RoRo Terminal in Singapore

PSA Singapore (PSA) and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd (MOL) have announced a joint venture RoRo terminal in Singapore.

The terminal is pending regulatory approval and is expected to begin operations in the first half of 2026.

As Southeast Asia’s largest automotive transhipment hub, Singapore connects Asia to global markets, offering multiple regional links and value-added services.

The JV will enhance MOL’s RoRo service reliability and operational efficiency while securing long-term terminal capacity to meet rising automotive transport demand.

MOL will leverage its global network, and PSA will bring its terminal expertise, jointly managing operations and strengthening their long-term partnership.

Beyond the terminal, the collaboration will focus on operational optimisation, digital innovation, and sustainability, aligning with PSA’s vision of a synchronised network and MOL’s “BLUE ACTION 2035” plan.

Nelson Quek, Regional CEO Southeast Asia, PSA International, said, “PSA has long served as a cornerstone of global trade, trusted as a key hub and vital node within the world’s supply chains.

“This partnership with MOL strengthens that role by integrating our automobile terminal more deeply into our global network, enabling seamless connectivity across the automotive logistics value chain. Together, we are committed to delivering sustainable, long-term value for our automotive customers.”

Jotaro Tamura, Senior Managing Executive Officer of MOL, said, “This investment is an important part of MOL’s regional strategy to expand beyond shipping business, alongside our marine transportation services, and to expand our automotive business.

“By combining the strengths of MOL and PSA in this joint venture, we will enhance scale and efficiency while driving sustainability and digital innovation. This investment reflects MOL’s commitment to stronger industry partnerships and a more sustainable global supply chain. Together, we aim to deliver even higher quality automotive transportation services to our customers.”
