“K” LINE takes full ownership of Wind Service subsidiary

Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (“K” LINE) has acquired full ownership of K Line Wind Service (KWS), making it a wholly owned subsidiary.

The company purchased all remaining shares from Kawasaki Kinkai Kisen Kaisha, which previously co-owned KWS as part of a joint venture. The transaction was completed on March 31, 2026.

Strengthening offshore wind business
