Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (“K” LINE) launched our annual safety campaign during this winter season. In this campaign, we have been focusing on the themes, the importance of fire prevention and early response to fires and injury prevention, by sharing information both at sea and onshore with the aim of further promoting and enhancing safety awareness. As of today, approximately 180 vessels and around 3,200 participants have taken part in this campaign (including approximately 300 onshore staff).
As COVID-19 measures have been lifted, we have actively visited ships to have face-to-face meetings on board, and also had online conferences with ships’ crews.
By exchanging information with ship captains and crews who are continuing to operate safely and protect the environment on the front lines, each of us was able to reconfirm the importance of our mission for our common goal, ensuring safe operations.
This campaign has been proceeded smoothly thanks to helps from our charterers and ship management companies.
Safe navigation is an immutable mission in the maritime industry which sustains the society. “K” LINE will continue to strengthen our competitiveness and enhance corporate value with ensuring supremely safe navigation and transport quality management leveraged by the competent human resources and the technologies complementing the human factors.
