| Bulk carrier services have been providing and developing new
global business activities in transport of iron ore, coal (for the production of steel),
grain and raw materials for paper (chips and pulp), as well as transporting overseas
thermal coal for power plants. This is playing an important role in stablizing power
supply in Japan as the demand for thermal coal by power plants in Japan has been on the
increase year-after-year. |
New Markets, Customers and opportunities
Efforts are underway to satisfy market needs in off-Japan trades as well as in the
Japan-centered trade. Along this business direction, "K"LINE has been setting up
business bases for iron ore and coal transportation services in the U.K., U.S.A.,
Singapore and Shanghai. We are focusing our endeavors on developing new customers and
increasing new business opportunities in coordination with regional-rooted business
practices as well as continuously improving service to our existing customers. |

Corona-series
The Corona-series of thermal coal carriers was developed by "K"LINE on its
own, and are being highly estimated by cargo owners. The high-profile feature of a wider
hull requiring a shallower draft is designed in consideration of berth conditions at power
plants. The Corona-series has been gradually developing into a standard for thermal coal
shipping business in Japan |
