Tankers

“K” Line provides marine transport of crude oil, oil products, LPG and other petrochemical products.
Service Profile
Japan relies on imports for nearly 100% of its crude oil procurement. “K” Line has made the prevention of oil spills and other accidents its highest priority for more than 70 years since it entered the oil tanker services in 1934, providing top-class services to customers around the world by conducting meticulous and safe navigation and cargo operations.
"K" Line Enters Into Long-Term Contracts in Emerging Markets
“K” Line is responding to the increase in resource transport demand spurred by continuous economic growth in China, India and other emerging economies by being among the first Japanese shipping companies to expand their overseas dry bulk carrier services. In China, the world’s largest crude steel-producing country, we have entered into a number of long-term iron ore transport contracts with major steel mills and steadily established a track record of performance. In India, we stole a march on competitors by concluding long-term contracts for the transport of raw coal with JSW Group, a powerful conglomerate, obtaining long-term transport contracts for 16 million tons of coal per year beginning in 2012. In addition, we have concluded a five-year contract with Gujarat NRE Coke, a major coke producer in India.
