Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (K Line) and Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. (J-Power) have decided to install the Seawing, an automated kite system powered by wind power, on the coal carrier Corona Citrus.

The Kansai Electric Power (KEPCO) has signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the joint study of liquefied CO2 shipping for developing Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) value chain with K LINE.

K LINE, K LINE KINKAI, and Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) have agreed to carry out the research and development of the “Safe Berthing/Unberthing Assist System” to enhance safety and efficiency of vessel maneuvering, berthing/unberthing, and mooring operations in ports.

K Line informed that it installed the first Seawing, an automated kite system that harnesses wind power, on a Capesize carrier at the end of 2022.

K LINE and Northern Lights have signed Bare Boat Charter and Time Charter contracts for two 7,500 m3 liquefied CO2 ships. The ships will be delivered in 2024 and will contribute to the world’s first full-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) value chain.

According to the environmental transparency agency Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), NYK and K Line are the only shipping representatives that received top grades, for their environmental performance.

Japanese shipping company K Line announced that it has received approval in principle (AiP) from ClassNK for the design of its ammonia-fueled bulk carrier, which is set to join its fleet in 2026.

K Line conducted a trial use of marine biofuel which was supplied by GoodFuels on Supramax bulker “ALBION BAY” with the cooperation of JFE Steel Corporation. This is second successful trial use of marine biofuel by K Line vessel.

Japan Petroleum Exploration (JAPEX) has signed an MOU with JGC, and K LINE on a joint study for Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) in Malaysia.
