Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (“K” LINE) has launched its annual safety campaign 2024-2025, focusing on the prevention of injuries, accidents caused by negligence, and heavy weather damage. This campaign is conducted every winter and aims to further promote and enhance safety awareness by sharing information both at sea and onshore. As of today, more than 200 vessels and approximately 4,700 participants have taken part in this campaign, including about 480 onshore staff and management.
Following last year’s campaign, onshore staffs actively visited ships to conduct face-to-face meetings on board and also had online conferences with ships’ crews. Additionally, “K” LINE held a seminar in Manila and conducted a safety campaign for chartered vessel crew members. By exchanging information with ship captains and crews, who continue to operate safely and protect the environment on the front lines, each of them was able to reconfirm the importance of its mission for its common goal of ensuring safe operations. This campaign has proceeded smoothly, thanks to help from its charterers and ship management companies.
Safety in navigation is an immutable mission in the maritime industry, which supports global 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 technologies that complement human factors.
