SHIP MANAGEMENT
Delivering global top-tier
SM services to our customers.
Since its founding in 1982, K-LNG has built deep ship management expertise, starting with oil tanker management and expanding over the decades into VLCCs, LNGCs and LPGCs.
Backed by ship management know-how accumulated in the industry and systematic in-house crew management, we continue to raise the safety and operational quality of our vessels.
FLEET MANAGEMENT
Systematic vessel safety management
From regular vessel visits to international-standard audits and major vessel inspections,
we operate a step-by-step fleet management system.
-
01
Superintendent Visit and Vessel InspectionSuperintendent visits and vessel inspections
Marine and technical superintendents regularly visit our vessels to inspect the hull, equipment and machinery, as well as the performance of seafarers including senior officers. Non-conformities are identified and corrected to ensure vessel safety. Inspection results are compiled and analyzed in reports and used to plan improvements in safety and operational quality across the fleet.

02
Integrated Company and Vessel Audit ProgramIntegrated company and vessel audits
In line with international standards such as ISM, ISPS, MLC and ISO, we conduct internal audits at least once a year and regular external audits by certification bodies and recognized organizations to verify compliance and effectiveness in safety, health, quality, security and the environment.
Beyond convention requirements, flying superintendents sail on board to regularly conduct the audits below, thoroughly checking operational safety and procedural compliance. Each audit follows an annual schedule and aims to secure safety by improving fleet quality and reducing risk.

SIRE 2.0 & TMSA 3.0Meeting international inspection standards
Following SIRE 2.0 on board and TMSA 3.0 ashore, we manage, comply with and implement internal systems that reflect the latest inspection standards and operating guidelines, continuously strengthening the consistency and safety of our ship management. Operations based on global standards earn customer trust and competitive marine quality.

CIC (Concentrated Inspection Campaign)Concentrated inspection campaigns
