Pacific International Lines (PIL) and ABS have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at Singapore Maritime Week. This agreement establishes a framework for collaboration on projects related to maritime technology, sustainability, and safety management systems.
“To make meaningful progress in this era of rapid change, we need strategic industry collaborations like this one with PIL,” said Christopher J. Wiernicki, ABS Chairman and CEO. “We look forward to capitalizing on our unique strengths and capabilities in maritime compliance and cutting-edge technologies to advance safety, emissions reduction and operational efficiency.”
As part of the overall strategic partnership, the MOU enables PIL and ABS to exchange technical knowledge and jointly explore innovative maritime technologies. The ABS Technology and Singapore Innovation Research Center will provide modeling and simulation support for PIL’s new vessel constructions and existing vessel retrofits.
ABS Sustainability specialists will work with PIL to develop an energy-efficiency strategy, including techno-economic studies and the implementation of practical decarbonization measures to enhance environmental performance. Safety is another key focus area of the agreement, with ABS providing guidance for Port State Control improvement and aligning safety standards with global best practices.
Lars Kastrup, CEO of PIL, stated, “This MOU reinforces our commitment and supports our plans to future-proof our fleet. Partnering with ABS allows us to leverage world-class expertise to drive innovation, advance decarbonization, and enhance safety management. This long-term collaboration is a testament to our dedication to driving progress, ensuring that we stay ahead of regulatory changes while maintaining operational excellence and environmental responsibility.”
The MOU will enable PIL to enhance the resilience and competitiveness of its fleet by exploring innovative solutions, fostering technical knowledge exchange, and assessing emerging maritime and decarbonization technologies. PIL has recently taken delivery of four new state-of-the-art vessels and has another 14 on order that can benefit from this partnership. ABS is guiding the industry with leading research and insights to support technology advancement in the marine and offshore industries.
