Green barge service

The collaboration between PSA Corporation Ltd (PSA) and Ocean Network Express Pte. Ltd (ONE) marks a milestone for the two eco-conscious partners as they both collectively strive for decarbonisation to limit the impact of terminal and shipping activities.

“Our collaboration has not only optimised operational efficiency, but also created a greener ‘marine highway’ option for shippers and carriers as we stay committed to greening the industry,” said Mr Ong Kim Pong, regional CEO Southeast Asia, PSA International.

”With this cleaner mode of transport, PSA has further built on our vision to orchestrate supply chains better and more sustainably.”

Slashed GHGs

The barge service from PSA Singapore to PSA Jurong Island aims to reduce up to 30% of greenhouses gases (GHG) for one teu container under this joint endeavour. This service will be used to transport empty containers to PSA Jurong Island Terminal for ONE’s identified customers located on Jurong Island.

Yasuki Iwai, managing director of product and network division, ONE, said: “As a major global liner company, ONE remains committed to furthering our decarbonisation efforts throughout the maritime supply chain and finding the best way to reduce our overall carbon footprint.”

“While going greener, we continue to build up our capability to safeguard global supply chain by diversifying modes of empty transport.”

PSA is working towards the same aim by offering a one-stop logistics service, aiming to streamline supply chain processes, optimise operations and enhance reliability and efficiency for the supply chain and logistics stakeholders.
