| Since 1972, when a first generation computerized terminal
system was introduced, "K" LINE has been upgrading its functionality
step-by-step. Fourth generation Computer Automated Terminal Operation System (CATOS)
started running "K" LINE’s Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka and Kobe container terminals
in 2000. |

LINE’s fundamental in-house systems and as a result, efficiency of our services and
operations have improved greatly through more reliable terminal work and more timely
supply of information. |
