Pacific International Lines (PIL) has introduced the PIL Intermodal Services, offering train, truck, and barge services to complement its container shipping services.
The PIL Intermodal Services are available across its existing network in Intra-Asia, Africa, Middle East, Latin America and Oceania.
“We have seen growing market demand for intermodal services in recent years,” said Lars Kastrup, CEO, PIL.
“With our strong network of global offices, agencies, and partners, we are able to offer good point-to-point connectivity across sea and land for our customers.
“Our intermodal solutions will be well supported by our digital services including electronic Bill of Lading, and in the near future, GPS tracking.
“This solution is also aligned with our goal to reduce the overall carbon footprint of our operations and that of our customers.”
The PIL Intermodal Service is now available in Africa, Australia, Cambodia, Guatemala, India, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, and China.
PIL plans to roll out the service to other parts of the world in the near term.
In September, Timor Port carried out operational trials of the future deepwater port of Tibar Bay by welcoming its first two vessels from PIL.
