Company
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.



KESS was founded on 1 July 2003 as a 100% owned subsidary of "K" Line Tokyo, succeeding the operation of EH Harms Car Feeder Service GmbH, the former joint-venture since 1991.		 More than 20 years of shipping experience in the North Sea and Baltic Sea has resulted in contracts with all major car manufactures under high quality standards being approved by Loyds' Register ISO 9001, 14001! The service network covered by KESS includes the whole of the North Sea and Baltic Sea and Atlantic Spanish coast, ranging from Spain to Russia, with 11 modern vessels in the service. There have been several new buldings added to the KESS fleet since 2005, which are also suitable for high and heavy Ro-Ro cargoes. The company's aim is to develop business in these areas, to provide first-class service to our customers.
