Editing K Line (section)

===1971===
K Line opens [[International Transportation Service]], a [[container terminal]] company in the [[Port of Long Beach]].

The Car Carrier transport division was inaugurated with the launch of the new [[Roll-on/roll-off]] vessel Toyota Maru No. 10.
K-Line would thereafter enlarge the fleet up to 70 [[Roll-on/roll-off|Car carriers]] vessels. All owned RORO vessels started to include in the first part of their names the word “Highway” (opposite to its container fleet's vessels that include the word “Bridge” into their names), to symbolize a link in between Japan and the rest of the world served by sea.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/japans-k-line-warns-of-huge-loss-cuts-chartered-fleet-11551974910/|title=K Line cuts chartered fleet|website=Wall Street Journal|date=7 March 2019 |language=en|access-date=2020-01-02 |last1=Paris |first1=Costas }}</ref>
