en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mitsui O.S.K. Lines' MOL Group has secured a long-term cooperation with Shell Brazil for the SeaLoader 1 cargo vessel service operated by its subsidiary SeaLoading, a system previously used for offshore crude oil logistics in Brazil.

SeaLoading, the owner of SeaLoader 1, stated that the vessel will continue to serve TotalEnergies EP Brazil, supporting its operations since 2020. SeaLoader 1 began operational services for Shell in 2025, expanding MOL Group's cargo vessel solutions for direct FPSO offloading in Brazil. Shell's long-term cooperation is based on its technical evaluation of the technology according to operational needs and practical experience with the service.

SeaLoading noted that the continued use of cargo vessel services by TotalEnergies EP Brazil, Shell Brazil, and OSMT Brazil Gerenciamento de Operações Marítimas Ltda demonstrates the role of this technology as an additional logistics option for offshore operations in Brazil. The system may help support sustainable development goals by optimizing offshore transport logistics and reducing greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining safety standards.

To date, SeaLoading's two cargo vessels operating in Brazil have completed over 200 offloading operations.

MOL Group is a subsidiary of Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd., a Japanese shipping company. MOL Group's business covers maritime transportation, offshore, and energy-related fields. SeaLoading, a company under MOL Group, owns the SeaLoader 1 cargo vessel.
