Pacific International Lines (PIL), headquartered in Singapore, is a lesser-known yet rapidly expanding ocean cargo company with a focus on emerging markets. While many shipping companies dominate the trans-Pacific and European routes, PIL has positioned itself as a key player in African and South Asian markets, catering to industries such as agriculture, construction, and textiles.
In 2023, PIL announced the addition of several new eco-friendly vessels to its fleet, signaling a strong commitment to reducing its environmental impact. These vessels, powered by cleaner fuels, aim to meet the rising global demand for greener shipping solutions. PIL also focuses on offering flexible shipping schedules and tailor-made services for small and medium-sized businesses that often struggle to find reliable ocean freight solutions.
Teo Siong Seng, Executive Chairman, commented, “We see tremendous potential in emerging markets. By focusing on under-served regions, we’re able to provide vital logistics support to industries that are poised for growth. It’s a strategy that aligns with our long-term vision of connecting the world efficiently and sustainably.”
