PSA International (PSA), DNV Singapore (DNV) and Pacific International Lines (PIL) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on carbon emission measurement, reporting and verification (MRV).
As part of the MoU, PSA will partner with PIL with extensive networks in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and Oceania, to create end-to-end green supply chains. Both companies will also capitalise on DNV’s suite of digital solutions to help the maritime industry create a robust data ecosystem, enabling digital assurance.
All the partners will cooperate to accelerate the adoption of low-carbon solutions to facilitate more efficient and sustainable global trade flows.
PSA Group Head of Operations and Sustainability, Eddy Ng said: “As a leading global port operator and trusted partner to cargo stakeholders, PSA is well positioned to catalyse sustainable transformation in the ports and supply chain ecosystem by leveraging our global network of strategic nodes and energy hubs, in line with our Node to Network strategy.”

Lionel Patrice Chatelet, Chief Commercial Officer, PIL, said: “Through this MoU, we will collaborate to develop a viable model for tracking and verifying supply chain GHG emissions reductions, leading to the development of Green Service Offerings (GSOs) that can help our customers better understand and lower their emissions footprint.
“Together, we aim to further digitalise processes, enhance data transparency and drive the sustainable decarbonisation of our industry.”
Last November, PSA and EMC established a joint venture in Singapore aiming to enhance operational performance.
