The shipment is currently on its way to Mombasa, Kenya, where it will then be loaded onto our vessel Kota Selamat for its onward delivery to Shanghai, China. 🚚➡🚢 🤔📦 Located in the west of Uganda’s capital, Kampala, Nalukolongo is an area famous for coffee exports for the landlocked country. However, it has always been logistically challenging for businesses to export out of this inland location, and the traditional method of exporting via rail often involves extended waiting time. 🚆⏳ 🙋♂️💪 By constantly “Pushing Boundaries”, PIL has now made it easier for our customer to export directly from Nalukolongo through our intermodal services! With cross-border coordination from our team, augmented by the seamless integration of road transport from Uganda to Kenya, our customer gets to benefit from a shorter transit time for their coffee shipment! ⌚⏩ 🚀🔀 Complementing our container shipping services, PIL Intermodal Services is a sustainable end-to-end transportation solution that empowers our customers to save time and resources by helping them to deliver goods to and from inland, and even across borders. Committed to our Purpose of “Putting Customers First”, we have once again demonstrated how PIL can provide better solutions for our customers by “Pushing Boundaries”! 🔗👉 For more information about our intermodal services, visit our website: https://lnkd.in/gJYxPyig #PIL #PacificInternationalLines #PuttingCustomersFirst #PushingBoundaries #Logistics #Intermodal

The fuel-saving bow windshield, a new feature in PIL’s fleet, will also help to reduce Kota Embun’s emissions as it plies the West Coast Central and South America Service 2 (WS2) route that it’s scheduled to operate on. 🗣💬 Mr Lars Kastrup, CEO of PIL, said, "The naming of Kota Embun, our fourth “E” Class vessel, is testament to the excellent progress we are making in our fleet renewal drive and journey towards greener shipping. We have another 14 new vessels of various capacities, equipped with LNG dual-fuel technology and other advancements. Each new vessel brings us closer to our goal of operating a more modern and environmentally friendly fleet.

On 22 February, our colleagues organised the construction of three concrete water treatment tanks with a filtration system, as well as contributed three water storage tanks to store clean water for Pa Cheo Kindergarten in the Lao Cai province. 💧🧒 Located in one of the poorest regions in Vietnam, the school provides education for over 360 students aged between two to five. With this donation, the underprivileged children now have access to clean water, which will help to enhance their learning environment. In addition, our PIL Vietnam colleagues also forked out of their own pockets to purchase snacks and candies for the young children. It was indeed heartwarming to see the faces of the kids light up with smiles! 🍪🍭😄 🌐🔭 PIL strives to uplift communities wherever we operate and make the world a better place for future generations. It is hoped that our contribution to Pa Cheo Kindergarten will enable the children to better focus on their education without having to worry about clean water access. Putting on our Future-Focused lens, we take concrete action like this to make a positive difference to the lives of these underprivileged children! #PIL #PacificInternationalLines #FutureFocused #CSR #CorporateSocialResponsibility
