Pacific International Lines (PIL) and PSA International (PSA), supported by DNV, have launched Singapore’s first joint land-sea green value-added service for cargo transhipped through the Port of Singapore.

The new offering will allow participating shippers and cargo owners to achieve verifiable emissions savings from the use of lower-carbon fuels across logistics, shipping, and port operations. Trials are scheduled to begin later in May.

The launch marks a milestone in the memorandum of understanding signed by PIL, PSA and DNV in March 2025 to advance carbon emissions measurement and reporting in the maritime sector.

PIL will contribute vessel deployment, fuel selection and voyage execution to generate emissions reductions within its shipping value chain.

PSA has agreed to provide its port and landside capabilities, helping to reduce end-to-end emissions across the wider logistics chain, whilst DNV is to use its digital expertise to support standardised data flows and independent verification for maritime emissions data.

The partners said the initiative is intended to provide customers with a transparent route to address Scope 3 emissions across the wider supply chain.

Lionel Patrice Chatelet, chief commercial officer of PIL, commented: “PIL is advancing maritime decarbonisation by leveraging carbon insetting as a practical and impactful lever within our own value chain. By investing in initiatives that directly reduce or remove emissions across our operations, PIL ensures that emissions reductions are real, measurable, and closely tied to our business activities. This approach not only accelerates progress toward our climate targets but also enables customers to access lower-carbon shipping solutions.”

Eddy Ng, group head of operations, technology and sustainability at PSA, noted: “PSA facilitates global trade through responsible stewardship, working with partners to enable efficient, resilient and sustainable trade flows. Our collaboration with PIL and DNV marks an important step in advancing low-carbon initiatives to support the decarbonisation of maritime supply chains and strengthen Singapore’s position as a hub for sustainable maritime and low-carbon energy solutions.”
