Pacific International Lines (PIL) is strengthening its Intra-Asia network with the launch of two services, enhancing connectivity between key ports in China and Indonesia as well as China, Singapore and Malaysia to support growing trade flows across the region.
The enhanced North China Indonesia (NCI) Service and new China Singapore Malaysia (CSM) Service will provide customers with broader market access, competitive transit times and greater flexibility for both dry and reefer cargo, while meeting rising intra-regional trade and growing demand for reliable shipping solutions connecting major manufacturing, consumption and transhipment hubs across Asia.
The NCI Service will commence on 8 November 2026 from Qingdao and will be served by a consortium of vessels, providing a direct weekly connection between China, Indonesia and Singapore. The service is strategically designed to support growing trade, and reefer cargo flows between key ports in China and Indonesia.
China Singapore Malaysia (CSM) Service
Commencing on 27 October 2026 from Tianjin, the CSM Service will offer a dedicated weekly link connecting North and South China with Singapore and key gateways in West Malaysia. It will provide customers with greater access to major industrial and consumer markets in China, Singapore and Malaysia while offering seamless transhipment links through Singapore to PIL's extensive global network.
Ms. Rita Wong, General Manager, Intra-Asia Services, PIL, said, "Asia continues to be a key engine of global trade growth, and we are seeing increasing demand for efficient and reliable connectivity within the region. The enhancement of the NCI and the introduction of CSM services reflect our commitment to providing customers with wider port coverage, faster connections and greater access to growth markets across China, Indonesia and Malaysia. These new services strengthen PIL's regional network, enhance connectivity to our broader global services, and support customers in capitalizing on expanding trade opportunities across Asia."
Together, these services further expand PIL's Intra-Asia coverage and competitive solutions, providing customers with more direct connections, increased service reliability and stronger links to one of the world's fastest-growing trading regions.
