H2 BusinessO

Eco-friendly and Safety Business － PBCF & Wind Propulsion

H2O

H2
We aim to become an energy trading company that produces, delivers, stores, and utilizes
hydrogen and electricity, and establish an energy production, sales, and supply system forboth domestic and international markets. To achieve this, we are advancing the following
three projects.

■MOTENA-Sea Project

Our company's ﬂagship project in the H2 business involves the construction and operation of
240 gross tons hybrid sightseeing ship, for about 100 passengers, powered by a combinationof hydrogen fuel cells and biodiesel fuel. This vessel, which was launched in September 2023
at the HONGAWARA SHIP YARD CO.,LTD in Fukuyama, Hiroshima Prefecture, is scheduled tocommence operations around April 2024, based in the Kanmon Area, including Kitakyushu
and Moji Ports. We aim to propose innovative and unconventional ways of utilizing ships that
go beyond the traditional image of passenger vessels.

With our long-established expertise in high energy-eﬃcient technology and wind
power technology, we contribute to reducing environmental impact through CO2
reduction and to marine conservation by reducing underwater noise.
MOTENA-Sea Project

■SeaEra Project

We are currently advancing a project to commercialize a barge-type hydrogen production
plant that utilizes onshore electricity to electrolyze seawater, produce hydrogen, store it, andsupply it, with the support of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development
Organization (NEDO), in collaboration with three other parties, including our company.

■SHE’s Project

A project involving seven parties, including our company, has been established to collectively
explore the commercial operation of next-generation inland vessels that prioritize
environmental considerations by introducing hydrogen-poweredcargo ships. The primary objective of this project is to reducegreenhouse gas emissions generated by inland shipping whileconsidering the Earth's environment.

■PBCF（Propeller Boss Cap Fins）

PBCF improves propeller eﬃciency by weakening the hub vortex generated
behind the rotating propeller and reduces fuel consumption by about 5%. On alarge containership, for example, that adds up to a 9,000-ton reduction in annual
CO 2 emissions.
Another beneﬁt of PBCF is the reduction of underwater noise in a speciﬁcfrequency range by 3 to 6 decibels, as conﬁrmed by water tank testing. This let toits selection as a vessel noise reduction technology in the "EcoAction Program"
implemented by the Port of Vancouver, Canada.

■Norsepower Rotor Sail

SeaEra Project

The Rotor Sail is an auxiliary wind propulsion system based on the Flettner rotor,
which uses wind power, and was developed into a modern, sophisticated system
by Norsepower.
It can reduce fuel consumption by an average of 5%～20% with a corresponding
reduction in CO2 emissions annually. The Rotor Saill is a product that can be installed
on both newbuild and existing vessels, contributing to global environmental conservation.

■Maritime Energy Eﬃciency Consultant

SHE’s ProjectAs a strategic subsidiary responsible for technology research and development
within the Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) Group, we have been dedicated to researchand development eﬀorts related to emission reduction in shipping with a focus on
mitigating global warming.
Our initiatives extend beyond underwater solutions, as we also focus on
harnessing oﬀshore wind power. We have independently developed the "ISHIN ship design" *1, which utilizes lift
generated by the airﬂow around the ship's hull to provide propulsion, reducing wind resistance around thevessel. Additionally, we have undertaken the development of a similar technology called "bow wind deﬂector" *2
speciﬁcally designed for container ships.
Furthermore, we are currently collaborating with the Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. on their "FOCUS" project, whichleverages operational big data. This collaboration aims to evolve into data-driven energy-saving solution
development, further reducing emissions from vessels.

LUBRICANTAs a specialist in information communication and digital technology within the Mitsui
O.S.K. Lines (MOL) Group, we aspire to be a service provider that oﬀers safety andsecurity in the maritime domain. We will continue to expand the following businesses.

Leveraging the strength of the Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Group's credibility and brand strength, we oﬀer marinetransportation and sales from existing fuels to new fuels and add them to our customers. We aim to make further
progress as a fuel sales company that provides value.

■GNSS Jamming and Spooﬁng Onboard Alarm Device■Fuel/Lubricant Supply Service

・GNSS Jamming and Spooﬁng Resistant Antenna
The 8230AJ GPS/GNSS Anti-Jam Antenna blocks signals coming from low
angles, where most interference waves arrive, and receives satellite signals only
from high angles.
・GNSS Jamming and Spooﬁng Detector
BroadSense Nano is characterized by its small size, lightweight design, and low
power consumption. Its ease of connection and operation with peripheraldevices is notable.

■Cybersecurity

Through a partnership with Athena Dynamics Pte Ltd, which has an application
for remotely monitoring the vulnerability of ships to cyberattacks, we will provide
remote cybersecurity services to vessels in operation. Without the need fortechnicians to visit the ship, the application examines the information equipment
and network system conﬁguration on board, identifying security vulnerabilities.

■Atomic clock SAFRAN The miniature Rubidium Atomic Frequency
Standard （miniRAFS）

MiniRAFS is an advanced ultra-stable atomic clock that achieves frequency
accuracy superior to 1E-9 over a 10-year operational period in orbit, as well as
exceptional short-term and medium-term frequency stability. Designed usingstate-of-the-art technology, it oﬀers advanced features such as long lifespan,high reliability, ultra-lightweight design, and ultra-low phase noise, making it ideal
for next-generation space applications.

■Satellite VDESVDES (VHF Data Exchange System) is a system designed to expand the Automatic Identiﬁcation System (AIS)
and establish a two-way communication network. To promote the use of Satellite VDES, we are participating ina consortium where various stakeholders from industry, academia, and government collaborate.

■Remote maintenanceWe aim to achieve remote maintenance services for inspections, servicing, repairs, and replacements without
the need for technicians to visit the vessel, in line with the proliferation of remote monitoring technology.

FUEL OIL

We provide ship fuels and lubricants not only in Japan's domestic market
but also worldwide, for coastal ships and ocean-going vessels alike. We
have ﬁve of our own fuel supply vessels providing swift, eﬃcient service tovessels calling in Tokyo and Osaka bays.
We are upgrading our owned and operated fuel supply vessels to add evengreater value, meeting the needs of the times with enhanced with theenvironmental performance and safety equipment. In Tokyo Bay, we
launched our new fuel supply vessel, the Techno Star, in 2017, followed by
the Techno Ace in April 2022.
The Techno Ace is Japan's ﬁrst fuel supply vessel to earn the top rating ofﬁve stars for its superior environmental performance in the Ministry of Land,
Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT)'s energy conservation rating
system for Japanese coastal ships. We developed the Ship-to-Ship (STS)
auxiliary device that uses electromagnetic force to connect vessels,acquired the patent, and installed it on vessel.
In addition, as an initiative on new fuels, we procure and sell LNG fuel inJapan as a bridge solution toward zero emissions in the future.

■LNG-Related Equipment Sales

Building upon the LNG handling expertise that the Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Grouphas cultivated over the years, ourcompany deals in equipment related
to cryogenic gases, including LNG. In
recent times, there has been atransformative shift from traditional
heavy oil to cleaner fuels such as LNG
for ship propulsion. We are actively
riding this wave of technologicalinnovation, supporting stakeholders
during this period of change.
