Marine Drive was established in 2024 as a key enabler of MOL-IT’s “More Marine” strategy, drawing on MOL’s Blue Action 2035 and DX Vision. The team strengthens MOL-IT’s support for marine operations through digital transformation.

Our Mission

Marine Drive drives innovation at MOL-IT by working with internal teams, technology partners, and maritime experts to deliver ICT solutions that improve shipboard operations and MOL’s marine capabilities.
