Mumbai: Mitsui OSK Lines remains confident about its investment plans in India and sees no change in momentum, despite global headwinds and rising tensions in West Asia, President and CEO Jotaro Tamura said Monday.
Mr. Tamura acknowledged that escalating tensions in West Asia and the impact on shipping have introduced short-term uncertainties. But he stressed that the company, which owns the world’s largest vessel fleet, is focused on the longer term.
“Despite the global headwinds, Mitsui OSK Lines is confident about making investments in India and the momentum has not changed,” Mr. Tamura said.
The comments come as shipping lines navigate route disruptions, insurance costs, and freight volatility tied to the West Asia crisis. India has been positioning itself as a logistics and manufacturing hub, with port infrastructure and maritime partnerships drawing interest from global carriers.
Mitsui OSK Lines operates across bulk carriers, tankers, LNG vessels, and container ships, and has existing joint ventures and terminal interests in India.
