Headquartered in London, “K” Line Energy Shipping (UK) Limited is working as a ship manager 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 several LNG and LCO2 carriers at different stages in our expansion, with our fleet currently consisting of 8 LNG carriers and 2 LCO2 carriers.

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. In 2025, after taking delivery of several LCO2 carriers as part of the Northern Lights project, the name was changed to “K” Line Energy Shipping (UK) Limited to reflect our growing diversified portfolio.

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 and contributing to a sustainable society”, where energy is both the cargo that we transport as well as motivated and energized personnel onboard and ashore. With a new corporate structure and diverse business activities, 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.
