European Commission Exempts Mitsui O.S.K. Lines from Penalty

February 21, 2018

The DG Competition of European Commission (EC) announced that several companies including MOL breached European competition law with respect to car carrier services.

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) and other shipping companies have been investigated by the EC due to the suspicion of competition law violation. MOL has fully cooperated with the EC during the investigation.

Though the EC announced that they found the violation of European competition law and imposed fines, MOL and its subsidiary companies were exempted from all penalty including the fine because EC granted MOL an immunity.
