Beyond this agreement, both partners are also cooperating in GHG emissions reduction levers such as the use of reclaimed refrigerant and the adoption of PSA\u2019s OptEVoyage, a digital port arrivals solution for vessels.<\/p>\n
\u201cGiven the ever-increasing global challenges stemming from climate change, it is imperative that we take proactive steps to reduce carbon emissions throughout the shipping industry,\u201d said Nelson Quek, regional CEO Southeast Asia, PSA International.<\/p>\n
\u201dThis will require the collective efforts of all players in the maritime supply chain sector. We remain committed to working hand-in-hand with like-minded stakeholders as we spur concerted action towards our transition to a cleaner and sustainable future beyond the areas served by our ports.\u201d<\/p>\n
Common goal<\/strong><\/p>\n By signing a new MoU, the two partners aim to leverage each other\u2019s expertise, resources and innovation to work towards developing low carbon pathways.<\/p>\n In April 2022, PIL successfully conducted a biofuel trial using a blend of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) and very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO).<\/p>\n Encouraged by the results, PIL intends to trial another blend of biofuel on its Singapore Qinzhou Shuttle (SQS) service as part of this MoU. This trial will involve a blend of 24% FAME with VLSFO.<\/p>\n \u201cPIL is delighted to partner PSA in co-developing sustainable shipping solutions for our common target of attaining net zero emissions,\u201d said Abhishek Chawla, general manager operations & procurement, PIL.<\/p>\n \u201cAs PIL actively explores and invests in solutions to reduce emissions across our organisation, we believe in the importance of collaborating with like-minded partners like PSA. Together, we can deliver a greener future for the shipping industry.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a collaborative effort towards achieving net zero emissions, PSA Singapore and Pacific International Lines\u00a0are to develop\u00a0a set of low carbon emission routes for containers shipped by PIL via PSA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3823,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42,8],"tags":[517,1290,37,1217,1291,1289,675,1288,481],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-3822","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-asia-greenport","category-projects-initiatives-greenport","tag-carbon-emissions","tag-cargo-flows","tag-decarbonisation","tag-just-in-time-arrivals","tag-optevoyage","tag-pacific-international-lines","tag-port-operations","tag-psa-singapore","tag-supply-chains"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3822"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3822\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3824,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3822\/revisions\/3824"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3822"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=3822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
