Pacific International Lines (PIL) announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the China Classification Society Wuhan Rules And Research Institute (CCSWR) pledging to deepen cooperation in shipping decarbonisation and beyond.
A directly affiliated unit of China Classification Society (CCS), CCSWR develops classification regulations and technical standards, as well as provides technical services.
Under the MOU, both PIL and CCSWR will explore the use of alternative fuels as well as onboard carbon capture and storage system to reduce greenhouse gases emissions from vessels. The increased collaboration will also see PIL and CCSWR cooperate extensively in the following areas, among others:
- Green fuel supply chains
- Sustainability regulation compliance
- Knowledge sharing on marine green fuel bunkering and lashing technology
- Upskilling personnel from both organisations on new technologies and best practices
Sustainability is at the core of PIL’s operations. As we take concrete action to drive a sustainable future, we also believe in joining forces with like-minded partners like CCSWR so that we can augment each other’s efforts to achieve our common environmental goals. Putting on our Future-Focused lens together, we can minimise the shipping industry’s environmental footprint and make the world a better place for future generations.
..PIL stated.
To remind, PIL entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with PSA Singapore, the country’s port operator, to collaborate on creating sustainable initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions and enhancing maritime efficiency.
