Singapore-based PIL orders seven new 1,400 TEU methanol-ready feeders
Company has placed an order for seven new 1,400 TEU container vessels with Huanghai Shipbuilding in China, as part of its ongoing fleet renewal and expansion programme.
Singapore-based Pacific International Lines Pte Ltd (PIL) on Thursday (5 November) said it has placed an order for seven new 1,400 TEU container vessels with Huanghai Shipbuilding in China, as part of its ongoing fleet renewal and expansion programme.
The new vessels will enhance PIL’s network capabilities and operational efficiency, particularly on its Intra-Asia and Pacific Islands services.
Their dimensions and design have been specially customised, with a length of 172 metres and width of 25 metres, to maximise vessel size for PIL’s target regional markets, while providing flexibility to connect smaller ports with key transhipment hubs across its network.
Scheduled for delivery between 2029 and 2030, these methanol-ready vessels will support PIL’s decarbonisation journey, positioning us to adopt lower-emission fuels as the availability and infrastructure for such fuels develop
