Mitsubishi Shipbuilding establishes new specialized organization for marine decarbonization
Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, has established Marine Decarbonation Business Development Group responding to the energy transition strategy promoted by MHI Group, according to the company's release.
This new organization, by consolidating a range of functions, from technology development and market research to the formulation and implementation of business strategies, will utilize the advanced technologies accumulated by the company over its long history of shipbuilding, in order to accelerate technological development and new business creation in the marine decarbonization field, and respond promptly to global trends and market needs to realize a carbon neutral world.
