PSA International, DNV Singapore, and Pacific International Lines (PIL) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on carbon emission measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV).
This partnership aims to accelerate decarbonization in the maritime and logistics sectors by developing sustainable, data-driven solutions.
As sustainability reporting standards evolve, the need for reliable, harmonised data exchange across supply chains has grown. By integrating robust data assurance and digital solutions, stakeholders can accurately track and reduce logistics-related emissions, enhancing transparency and accountability.
Under the agreement, PSA will harness its global port network, logistics hubs, and intermodal solutions in collaboration with PIL—the largest Singapore-grown carrier with an extensive footprint across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and Oceania—to establish end-to-end green supply chains. Leveraging DNV’s expertise in digital assurance, the partners will work towards building a resilient data ecosystem that fosters emissions accountability and drives sustainability.
With their collective expertise, PSA, DNV, and PIL aim to accelerate the adoption of low-carbon solutions and promote more efficient, environmentally responsible global trade.
Eddy Ng, PSA Group Head of Operations and Sustainability, stated: “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. This partnership with DNV and PIL reflects our belief that the path to a greener maritime industry is paved through collaboration, innovation, and a shared vision for a sustainable tomorrow. We remain dedicated to pioneering solutions that integrate sustainability into global trade flows while delivering the highest standards of operational excellence.”
Antony M DSouza, Senior Vice President & Regional Manager, Southeast Asia, Pacific and India, DNV Maritime, highlighted: “The maritime industry is at a crucial juncture where collaboration and digital innovation must go hand in hand to drive meaningful sustainability. To achieve real progress, we must not only leverage emerging digital technologies but also build trust through robust measurement and verification. Through this partnership with PSA and PIL, we are committed to developing strong MRV capabilities that enhance transparency, enable data-driven decisions, and accelerate the transition to greener supply chains. Together, we are shaping a future where sustainable trade becomes the industry norm, delivering lasting benefits for businesses, communities, and the environment.”
Lionel Patrice Chatelet, Chief Commercial Officer, PIL, added: “PIL is fully committed to achieving net zero GHG emissions by 2050. This partnership with PSA and DNV strongly advances our proactive approach to developing and implementing low-carbon solutions. 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.”
By uniting expertise in ports, shipping, and digital assurance, this partnership sets the foundation for a more transparent and sustainable global supply chain ecosystem.
