𝗣𝗜𝗟 𝗴𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗲 🌱💡 With sustainability at the core of PIL’s business, we are committed to taking concrete action to drive a greener future. Let’s see how our teams around the world have put on their Future-Focused lens to groom more green fingers and cultivate a green mindset among our colleagues! 👨🌾👩🌾 At the UAE, the team collaborated with the Dubai Municipality to organise a workshop on indoor gardening for our local colleagues. At this informative session, our PIL UAE colleagues learnt more about the different types of indoor plants and their associated health benefits, as well as how to grow them successfully and healthily, so that they can do so in their own homes! 🧒🌲 Driving the green initiative one step further, our colleagues from Guangzhou, China brought along their kids for a tree-planting activity on 1 June. This day is also Children’s Day in China, making it all the more meaningful to instill awareness among the young ones on this special occasion regarding the importance of environmental protection. 🙋♀️🌳 Over in Jordan, the team also contributed towards creating a greener environment by planting trees at a local forest. Our Jordanian colleagues planted a total of 30 trees within a day’s work, which is reflective of PIL’s commitment in driving environmental sustainability where we operate. 💕🌐 At PIL, we are heartened to see how our teams around the world are also aligned with our Future-Focused value with their green initiatives. On this sustainability journey, we will not stop our efforts in inculcating a green attitude and minimising our environmental footprint! #FutureFocused #Sustainability #DrivingConnectivity #PIL #PacificInternationalLines

Li Fuqiang, the Master of Kota Kamil, immediately directed our ship off its original course to the location of the distressed fishing boat, where our crew found two fishermen who were severely ill. Working closely with the local authorities, the Kota Kamil crew quickly assisted with the emergency evacuation of these two fishermen and brought them to a Sri Lankan naval vessel 140nm away where they received medical attention. Kota Kamil has since resumed its voyage to Singapore. 👏👍 Kudos to Capt. Li and the entire crew of Kota Kamil for providing prompt assistance to the distressed fishermen! Your admirable act is testament to PIL's 'People-Centric' value, in which we spare no effort in ensuring the safety of life at sea!

This shipment, consisting of spare parts needed to assemble over 60 heavy duty trucks, will then begin their voyage to their final destination of Durban in South Africa. 🌐🤝 This block train service is a part of PIL Intermodal Services in which we leverage our extensive network to provide point-to-point, integrated transportation solutions to meet our customers' requirements. Working closely with our partners, our team ensured that this massive shipment of spare parts was carefully packed straight into containers at the inland port. This helps to safeguard the integrity of the cargo during transportation, as the containers can then be directly loaded onto the vessel before carrying on their journey to Durban. 👷♂️ 💪🚀 By constantly "Pushing Boundaries" and coming up with innovative solutions, PIL is steadfast in our commitment of "Driving Connectivity" for our customers and the world. In addition to being a one-stop, fuss-free, end-to-end solution that helps our customers to save time and resources, this block train service also demonstrates how PIL can boost the connectivity of inland locations like Inner Mongolia and support the economic growth of the area! 💰📈 #PIL #PacificInternationalLines #DrivingConnectivity #IntermodalService #PushingBoundaries

At this orientation session, the young talents had the valuable opportunity to interact with leaders from PIL, including Executive Chairman Mr S.S. Teo, and got a better understanding of the shipping industry. 💡🚀 With this newly-gained knowledge, we then challenged the students to come up with innovative ideas in three different projects. Collaborating with our colleagues who will act as their mentors, the students stand to gain real-life work experiences over the next 8 months as they tackle problem statements in the areas of sustainability, container design solutions, as well as branding and marketing. 🚢👨🎓 Putting on our Future-Focused lens, PIL is committed to investing in the industry's future by building up a strong talent pipeline. Through our "People-Centric" initiatives like this attachment programme, we share with the younger generation the multitude of opportunities in the maritime sector, and hopefully inspire them to become future talents of the shipping world. As the students begin to work on their projects, we look forward to hearing their brilliant ideas in time to come! #PacificInternationalLines #PIL #DrivingConnectivity #PeopleCentric #FutureFocused
