14. Safety in navigation and cargo operations is an immutable mission in running a shipping business. Over the past five years, two oil spills have resulted from one grounding and one collision. In both cases, we took appropriate measures to minimize damage.
Port State Control (PSC) is a safety inspection of foreign ships conducted by port states to verify that the condition of the ship complies with the requirements of international regulations.
The number of deficiencies with “K” LINE Group vessels per PSCs is well below the average number of deficiencies in the main regions.
15. The scope of this data is "K" LINE's scope of consolidation, which corresponds to 100% sales.
