In a significant move marking the company’s footprint in innovative maritime solutions, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Transportation and Construction Engineering, Ltd. (MHI-TC), a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, has delivered a self-propelled mobile seaport passenger boarding bridge, Mitsubishi Marine Bridge (MMB), to Yokohama City. The new-age facility started its service on January 13, 2026.
The MMB, showcasing the company’s commitment towards exceptional sea-transport facilities, is a milestone in the domain. With its ability to be self-propelled, this could potentially instigate a change in how seaport passenger bridges are perceived and utilized, offering increased convenience and reductions in manual interference.
On the same day, MHI Group made another significant move by amplifying its collaboration in research with Indonesia’s Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB). This expanded agreement will enable the collaborators to further dive into the research related to ammonia-based fuel applications. The new research agreement augments the existing long-term partnership between the entities by aiming to explore cleaner power generation methodologies.
The thriving partnership between MHI and ITB is emblematic of the group’s global commitment to pursue clean power generation solutions. The collaboration acts as a silver lining in the pledge towards greener future, fostering the development of ammonia-based fuel applications, a potential game-changer in clean power technology.
This twofold achievement underscores the progressive moves of MHI Group, within the industry as well as, against the backdrop of sustainability quests that multiple multinational enterprises are currently faced with.
