MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) will be participating in the World Rice Conference 2024 from November 5-7 at the Conrad Hotel in Manila, Philippines. As a global leader in container shipping and logistics, MSC recognises the critical role rice plays as a staple food source for over half of the world’s population and its importance in global food security. Through its comprehensive shipping services, MSC is committed to supporting the agricultural sector by ensuring the safe transportation of rice worldwide.

Experts from key rice trading nations—including the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam—will be available at Table 6 to discuss how MSC maintains the quality of rice cargo during transit to meet demand in key markets.

Here’s a look at MSC’s all-inclusive rice shipping solutions:

1. Comprehensive Trade Services Connecting Major Rice Trading Countries

• Import into the Philippines: The Philippines, a major rice importer, sources rice from regions like Vietnam, Thailand, and India. MSC’s Origami and Lang Co services offer steady weekly sailings with comprehensive coverage across the Philippine market, including ports in Manila, Batangas, Subic, and Davao.
• Export from Thailand: As a leading rice-exporting nation, Thailand’s exporters can utilize MSC’s Africa Express and Ingwe services to efficiently transport rice cargo to various African ports. Our weekly Seahorse feeder ensures reliable delivery from Laem Chabang to Singapore for seamless transshipment. Additionally, our Elephant and Swan-Sentosa services provide direct connections from Laem Chabang to transpacific destinations.
• Export from Vietnam: Vietnam is another key player in the rice export market. MSC’s Africa Express service also links Vung Tau with numerous African ports effectively via transshipment in Singapore. Within Asia, our robust Intra-Asia network includes Origami and Lang Co services, that provide convenient connections to various Philippine ports. While Origami connects directly from Vung Tau, Lang Co offers direct links from both Ho Chi Minh and Vung Tau.

2. Smart Containers for Effective Management and Tracking of Rice Cargo

Rice is sensitive to temperature and moisture, requiring expert control during transportation. With MSC Smart Containers, shippers have real-time access to data on location, temperature, and humidity, empowering them to monitor and manage their rice cargo from start to finish. Real-time alerts provide additional peace of mind and enhance cargo oversight.

3. Intermodal Solutions from Paddy to Table 

In the Philippines, MSC offers trucking solutions to bring rice from paddies directly to consumers. In Thailand, MSC coordinates barge, rail, and truck services to transport rice to major ports for global distribution. For added protection, MSC Extended Protection offers coverage for partial or full cargo value, catering to the delicate nature of rice shipments.
