Pacific International Lines (PIL) is expanding its presence in East Coast South America with the introduction of two revamped weekly direct services connecting key ports in China, Singapore, Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay.
The new services, known as East Coast Service 1 (ES1) and East Coast Service 2 (ES2), are enhancements of PIL’s existing Sino South America Service (SSA) and South America Service 2 (SA2).
The ES1 service will commence on May 10, 2024, from Shanghai and will be served by a consortium of thirteen vessels jointly deployed by PIL, Evergreen Marine Corp (EMC), Cosco Shipping Lines (COSCO), and CMA CGM (CMA). PIL will deploy four vessels on this service. On the other hand, the ES2 service will commence on May 7, 2024, from Qingdao and will be served by the same consortium with twelve vessels deployed.
In addition to the new services, PIL has established its own agency office in Brazil, Pacific International Lines Agencia Maritima (Brazil), and appointed an experienced team. This move is part of the company’s efforts to deepen its ties with customers in Brazil and the larger Latin American region.
Mr. William Ho, General Manager of the long Haul Trade Line Management Division at PIL, commented, “With the Latin American market’s continuing promising growth prospects, we have seen strong trade flows between Asia and Latin America. Following our enhanced presence in West Coast South America, we would like to strengthen our presence in East Coast South America as well to drive connectivity and better serve the needs of our customers.”
The ES1 service will include ports of call such as Shanghai, Ningbo, Yantian, Hong Kong, Singapore, Rio de Janeiro, Santos, Navegantes, Montevideo, Buenos Aires, Paranagua, Santos, Singapore, Hong Kong, and back to Shanghai.
For the ES2 service, the ports of call will include Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Shekou, Singapore, Rio de Janeiro, Santos, Paranagua, Itapoa, Navegantes, Santos, Colombo, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Qingdao.
PIL’s initiative to introduce these services and expand its presence in East Coast South America signifies its commitment to providing enhanced connectivity and service to its customers in the region.
