Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (\u201cK\u201d LINE) hereby announces that it has signed agreements with NIHON SHIPYARD CO., LTD. (NIHON SHIPYARD) regarding the construction of three very large crude carriers (VLCCs, hereinafter the Carriers).<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Carriers are next-generation energy-saving, high fuel efficiency vessels. They will be constructed as Malaccamax vessels designed to transport crude very efficiently on routes between the Middle East and Asia via the Strait of Malacca. \u201cK\u201d LINE has decided to contract NIHON SHIPYARD to construct the Carriers. NIHON SHIPYARD possesses the technologies and extensive track record necessary for the construction of Malaccamax VLCCs. <\/p>\n

\u201cK\u201d LINE will continue to contribute to a stable energy supply, particularly for Japan, during the transition toward decarbonization by providing safe and stable crude oil transportation services leveraging the \u201cK\u201d LINE Group\u2019s expertise in the transportation of crude oil and the high-quality operations it has developed over many years. <\/p>\n
