Kiwi Car Carriers

Kiwi Car Carriers was established in the summer of 1994 to provide customers with a service package previously unavailable in the Motor Vehicle Carrying Industry. The line presently operates a fleet of dedicated Pure Car Carrier vessels between the Japanese ports of Osaka, Kobe, Nagoya and Kawasaki, and Australia and New Zealand.

To celebrate their "Kiwi" identity, Kiwi Car Carriers became a sponsor of BNZ Save the Kiwi Trust in May 2011.
