KESS - Short Sea Service in Europe |
||
|
|||
|
 |
|
In the wake of global diversification of production sites of car manufacturers and the growing public concern in environmental issues, short sea transportation is increasingly seen as an important mode of transportation within Europe.
"K" Line has a group company providing short sea car carrier service in Europe. The company, "K" Line European Sea Highway Services GmbH, is one of the major short sea car carrier operators in Europe, transporting approximately 500,000 brand new vehicles a year. |
|
KESS was founded on 1st of July 2003 as a 100% owned subsidiary of "K" Line, succeeding the operations of E.H.Harms Car Feeder Service GmbH, the former joint-venture since 1991. More than 10 years of shipping experience in the North Sea and Baltic Sea promoted us to a well known carrier with contracts with all major car manufacturers under high quality standards being approved by Lloyds' Register ISO 9001:2000. Service network of KESS covers the whole of North and Baltic Sea area, ranging from the UK to Finland with 7 vessels in service. There are two new buildings due to come in 2005, which are also suitable for high and heavy RORO cargoes. The company's aim is to develop business in these areas to provide first class services to their customers. |
