"K" Line Lng Shipping (Uk)

Headquartered in London, “K” Line LNG Shipping (UK) Limited is working as a ship manager, ship owner and regional agent to support and strengthen “K” Line group’s business activities within Europe, and the wider Atlantic region, namely in the marine transportation of LNG. Since the opening, we have over time taken delivery of ten LNG carriers, and currently in the middle of the next phase of fleet expansion. As a Group, “K” Line has a significant history within LNG marine transportation, having operated in this field from the head office in Tokyo, Japan, since the late 1970s. For the last decade “K” Line has had a strategic business aim to expand its activities in the Atlantic region – to develop and operate from business hubs close to its customers, and as such established “K” Line LNG Shipping (UK) Limited, a 100 per cent subsidiary, in 2005. Our newly formed corporate mission formulated by our senior officers and shore side management is to: “Help our stakeholders achieve their goals by carrying energy safely”, where energy is both the cargo that we transport as well as motivated and energized personnel onboard and ashore. Towards 2020 we are taking steps to grow our fleet according to our business goals, but also to grow our people to build an organizational culture that is line with our values: Pro-activeness, People, Professionalism, Safety and Quality. In 2020 we want to measure our success on “living our values” and “reaching our business goals”.
