MOL invests in logistics infrastructure projects in Southeast Asia

MOL (Asia Oceania), MOL’s regional headquarters for Southeast Asia and Oceania, is taking part in a joint project with partners to develop and invest in logistics infrastructure projects centered on multi-tenant advanced automated warehouses in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam.

The first project, OMEGA 1 Bang Na Thailand Warehouse, is already under construction and is scheduled to be completed by February 2027. OMEGA, designed by Ally Logistic Property, a warehouse developer in Taiwan, is a large-scale automated warehouse model that centralizes warehouse systems. 

The warehouse is divided into a multi-story ramp-type handling area (truck lanes leading to the upper floors are provided for loading and unloading cargo on each floor) for warehousing and dispatching, and a completely unmanned area for storage of pallets board-shaped cargo platforms used for transporting and storing goods. 

The unmanned area features a vaulted ceiling structure equipped with automated cargo handling equipment such as electric cranes, automatically controlled racks, and automated guided vehicles. The vaulted ceiling is intended to ensure the most effective use of space; multiple customers’ cargoes can be handled simultaneously, making it possible to expand and contract storage space in pallet units according to each customer’s actual cargo supply and demand.

Other projects will be based on this OMEGA multi-tenant advanced automated warehouse model.
