Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (“K” LINE) has launched its annual safety campaign 2025-2026, focusing on the prevention of accidents related to injuries, generator troubles, and GPS-related incidents. This campaign is conducted every winter and aims to further promote and enhance safety awareness by sharing information both onboard vessels and onshore. As of today, more than 200 vessels and approximately 4,200 participants have taken part in this campaign, including about 430 onshore staff and managers.

Following last year’s initiative, shore staff actively conducted face-to-face meetings on board as well as online meetings with ships’ crews. In addition, a seminar was held in Manila, where a safety campaign was carried out for chartered vessel crew members. With the cooperation of shipowners and ship management companies, valuable exchanges of views were held with masters and crew members who are continuously engaged in maintaining safe operations and environmental protection at sea. This provided a meaningful opportunity for all parties to reconfirm their respective missions toward the shared goal of ensuring safe operations. This campaign has proceeded smoothly, thanks to the support of 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 its competitiveness and enhance corporate value by ensuring safe navigation and transport quality management, leveraged by the competent human resources and technologies that complement human factors.
