K Line agrees to work together with EGA on decarbonization

Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (K Line) has agreed to work together with Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA), to establish a working committee for collaborative research on decarbonisation.

K Line has been working with EGA for more than 40 years. In 2019, it signed a contract of affreightment with the company, shipping around 5m tons of bauxite per year. The two firms will now collaborate together through the sharing of research and ideas and utilising and leveraging on the respective party’s knowledge about new marine technology, alternative fuels and other fields potentially growing in the near future, so as to achieve the common target of a net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
