"K" LINE has 4 in Japan and 4 in North America, including one U.S. rail
terminal, all exclusive "K" LINE terminals. These terminals have highly
effective operations that are being continuously expanded and upgraded, including
automatic terminal work with a host of IT-related equipment, giving us confidence that we

| 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. |
| CATOS also has higher level of connectivity with "K"
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. |
