Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) inform that the Japan Fair Trade Commission (the JFTC) has issued Cease and Desist Orders and Surcharge Payment Orders to certain shipping companies regarding certain car carrier shipping trades, but exercised leniency as MOL had already desisted from the questioned business conduct. The JFTC suspected certain shipping companies, including Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL), of violating the Japanese Antimonopoly Act, and conducted on-site investigations on September 6, 2012.
