Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (“K” Line) has been selected again as a constituent of the FTSE Blossom Japan Index, one of the most recognized ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) index developed by FTSE Russell, wholly owned subsidiary of London Stock Exchange Group, for five years in a row since the index was launched in 2017.　

The FTSE Blossom Japan Index selects Japanese companies that demonstrate strong ESG practices, and as of June 2021, 229 companies have been selected as constituents from among the 1,391 Japanese companies that constitute the FTSE Japan All Cap Index. The index has been adopted as a benchmark of ESG investing by Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) in Japan, the world’s largest public pension fund.

We have been addressing sustainability issues, mainly the environmental, and our initiatives are moving into full swing, with the reform of the organization and the promoting system to strengthen our sustainability management, with effect from April 1, 2021, so as to contribute to the solution of social issues, including climate change, thus to fulfill our mission as a lifeline that will support people’s lives and economies in the future.

Specifically, in March 2021, we have launched a next-generation environmentally friendly car carrier fueled by LNG (liquefied natural gas). Part of the construction funding for the vessel was procured through Climate Transition Loan as a first case in Japan.

Furthermore, earlier this month, we have signed a long-term consecutive voyage charter regarding the upcoming new built capesize bulk carrier (210,000 DWT), who will also be fueled by LNG and is scheduled to be delivered in 2024. The vessel aims to further reduce the environmental burden by installing an automated kite system, utilizing wind power, called “Seawing”.

Through our sustainability management, we will continue to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society, as well as strive to promote our own growth strategy and improve our corporate value.

Cargo Integrity Group calls for risk-based measures to prevent pest contamination

July 26, 2021 by

JOINT MEDIA STATEMENT

On behalf of Container Owners Association, Global Shippers Forum, ICHCA International, TT Club, World Shipping Council

The international freight transport organisations of the Cargo Integrity Group are calling for urgent action from actors in global supply chains to reduce the risk of pest transference through international cargo movements.

The five partners[i] in the Cargo Integrity Group, known as CIG, recognise the vital importance of focusing on the threat of invasive pests to natural resources across the world, and of the urgency in crafting risk reduction measures that address the situation. 

This call to action[ii] follows the intentions by pest control experts under the auspices of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC)[iii], to take all-encompassing, internationally imposed steps to mitigate such risks.  One measure under serious consideration is the mandatory certification of cleanliness for all containers prior to loading on board a ship, a measure that would have significant impact on global trade when it comes to both time and cost.

Lars Kjaer, Senior Vice President of the World Shipping Council (WSC), explains the CIG partners concerns around these very broad proposals: “We know that more serious risks occur among certain types of goods and from identified regions. The CIG recommendation centres on the need to provide proper risk assessments in defined trades and focus mandatory measures on these high-risk areas and cargoes.”

The partners in CIG are committed to ensuring that international trade is conducted in a safe, secure, and environmentally sustainable manner. They rigorously promote the use of the ‘Code of Practice for the Packing of Cargo Transport Units’ published by the IMO, the UNECE and the ILO (the CTU Code).

The serious issue of the transfer of invasive pests between different natural ecosystems is very much a part of this commitment. It is also crucial that the development of any such controls is undertaken in full consultation with other appropriate bodies, in particular the international agencies responsible for the governance of world trade and for the regulation of different modes of transport, as well as supply chain stakeholders and industry practitioners.

“There are identified risk areas and cargoes which must be addressed, and the CIG partners look forward to contributing essential industry expertise to the work of the IPPC to ensure an effective and efficient set of recommendations and best practices to stop the transfer of invasive species,” concludes James Hookham, Secretary General of Global Shippers Forum.

Continuous expansion and commitment to environmental care typify GEODIS’ 2020 activity

July 22, 2021 by

The publication of group’s annual Activity & CSR report confirms revenue growth, innovation and the pursuit of an environmental commitment.

More than a year after the start of the pandemic, the health crisis has not interrupted GEODIS’ growth and continuous expansion, notably with the acquisition of the Polish company PEKAES. The report details GEODIS’ management of the crisis, its contribution to the delivery of essential goods and personal protection for care-givers and populations, and also an acknowledgement of its strategic role as a leading global logistics provider.

“The Covid-19 crisis presented us with multiple challenges, as it did for all companies and individuals.  Our priority was to ensure the safety of our teams. At the same time, we worked to secure our customers’ supply chain,” said Marie-Christine Lombard, President of the GEODIS Board of Directors.

The pandemic highlighted GEODIS’ agility and ability to react with innovative solutions to ensure the reliability and resilience of supply chains. In 2020, amidst a disrupted maritime and air environment, GEODIS implemented more than 650 air charters to secure customer shipments worldwide.

In response to the acceleration of e-Commerce, GEODIS launched two new offerings: GEODIS eLogistics and GEODIS MyParcel, positioning he company as a preferred logistics partner for brands seeking to grow their online sales directly to consumers, and thereby retain control.  GEODIS e-Logistics provides a real-time overview of all available inventory and enables order management across all sales channels, as well as the determination of the most appropriate source of supply, delivery method and return options.  GEODIS MyParcel consists of a B2C delivery service from the U.S. to 27 European countries in 4-6 days guaranteed.

GEODIS also continued its actions to optimize the use of resources and reduce CO2 emissions, which have been part of its ongoing commitment for over 10 years. A leader in multimodal transport in Europe, at the end of 2020 GEODIS inaugurated a new platform in Dourges, France to facilitate cross-modal shipments. At this time it also set up a carbon offset program to offer to its customers.

The company experienced significant growth in 2020 (+4.5% increase in total revenues), a performance which supports the implementation of the ‘Ambition 2023’ strategic plan.

Among the non-fiscal indicators as well as external assessments, we note:

–           90% satisfied customers (87% in 2019),

–           84% satisfied employees,

–           Leader status in the Gartner Magic Quadrant report,

–           Gold level (score 68/100), awarded by EcoVadis,

EAGLE OCEAN MARINE CELEBRATES TEN YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE MARITIME COMMUNITY

July 14, 2021 by

FIRST DECADE OF OPERATIONS MARKED BY STEADY GROWTH AND SOLID PROFITABILITY

SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO BUSINESS AUGURS WELL FOR CONTINUING SUCCESS

NEW YORK, JULY 14, 2021:  Eagle Ocean Marine (EOM), the American Club’s facility providing fixed premium protection and indemnity (P&I) and freight, demurrage and defense (FD&D) cover to the operators of smaller vessels in regional trades outside the US, recently celebrated ten years of service to the maritime community.

EOM began operating as an American Club underwriting facility on July 1, 2011.  It has just completed its first decade of operations on a high note, having enjoyed steady growth and solid profitability over recent years.  The commencement of EOM’s eleventh year has also been marked by the successful renewal of its reinsurance arrangements, supported by the continuing commitment of first-class security at Lloyd’s and elsewhere, a reflection of EOM’s excellent track record and the sustainability of its business model.

Over the forthcoming months, EOM’s gross premium income since inception is projected to surpass $100 million, with revenue over the last three years in particular having seen a compound annual growth rate of approximately 17%.  Total premium earned for the most recent year of account is expected to be about $17.6 million, compared with just over $15 million for the immediately preceding twelve months.

As EOM continues to gain traction throughout the world as a gold-standard insurer in a changing fixed premium P&I landscape, there are grounds for optimism that its market footprint will continue to expand.  Moreover, notwithstanding chronic rating softness in the marine liability insurance sector, EOM has had success in obtaining sustainable levels of pricing for the cover it provides, a token of the respect with which the quality of its service is viewed within the industry.

As to its underwriting results, EOM has continued to perform well over the recent past.  The facility’s historic combined ratio since inception remains at about 75%, with an even better result over the last three years.  Most importantly, EOM continues to contribute positively to the American Club’s mutual membership, whose overarching interests animate EOM’s prudent approach to risk selection and premium pricing.

The distribution of EOM’s insured tonnage by reference to domicile of management and vessel type is broadly based, and has remained relatively constant over recent years.  With 1,700 vessels with an average unit size of 1,700 gross tons, EOM’s business derives from the major centers of maritime enterprise across the globe, with a strong representation from the Asia-Pacific region.  As to vessel type, the dry cargo and small craft sectors make up the preponderance of tonnage at 50% and 33% respectively, with tankers (at 14%) accounting for most of the remainder.

Commenting on Eagle Ocean Marine’s first ten years, Joe Hughes, Chairman and CEO of Eagle Ocean Agencies, Inc., which manages the facility on behalf of the American Club, said:  “My colleagues and I take great pleasure in celebrating the first ten years of EOM service to the maritime community.  The steady growth of EOM’s market footprint and premium revenue, coupled with its continuingly profitable contribution to the American Club’s mutuality, are testament to its prudent approach to risk selection and premium pricing, as well as the respect of the market for the quality of its services.  In an uncertain landscape, EOM remains the gold standard for fixed premium P&I insurance.  We have every reason to view the commencement of EOM’s second decade of operations with great optimism for the sustainability of its business model.”
