PSA Singapore (PSA) and Pacific International Lines (PIL) have completed their first trial of low-carbon green shipments, in a joint effort to build more sustainable end-to-end supply chains.
The pilot is part of the MOU signed in October last year between the two long-standing partners to collaborate on green and sustainability solutions.
It consists of warehouse-to-warehouse cargo flow from Singapore to Chongqing via the International Land-Sea Trade Corridor.
