Commitment to safety
"K"LINE’s transport of LNG started in 1983 as first Japanese owner/operator of
LNG carrier "Bishu Maru". Since then, "K"LINE has participated in Badak II, Arun
II, large-scale projects for transport of LNG from Indonesia to Japan, also in Qatargas
project that has successfully transported LNG from Qatar to Japan. With LNG carriers
dedicated to these projects operating with accident free voyages, "K"LINE has
demonstrated its commitment to safety and has earned the reputation as a highly reliable
carrier. |

| Based on our foothold in LNG projects involving Japanese
buyers, "K"LINE has participated in off-shore business starting with transport of LNG
from the Middle East to Korea, followed by such large-scale projects as Petronet (Qatar to
India), Snohvit (Norway to Spain/US), RasGas (Qatar to Europe), etc. Corresponding
to recent rise in global demand, especially in Europe/US, "K"LINE expanded its
activities and established London and Houston offices where experts are exclusively
working for LNG projects. Utilizing these networks plus offices in Tokyo and Dubai, "K"LINE
will step up and further strengthen its transport capabilities, flexibly and positively
responding to increasing and diversified global LNG shipping demands. |
