Asuene APAC and Pacific International Lines finalise MoU to Drive Global Decarbonization

Asuene APAC Pte Ltd, the Singapore-based subsidiary of Asuene Inc. has finalised a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Singapore’s Pacific International Lines Ltd (PIL), Southeast Asia’s largest carrier with extensive networks in Asia, Africa, Middle East, Latin America and Oceania. Currently, PIL is an adopter of ‘ASUENE,’ a cloud-based platform for measuring, reducing, and reporting GHG emissions, across its approximately 60 offices worldwide.

Under the MoU signed during Singapore Maritime Week on 25 March, the two companies aim to expand the initiative to include PIL’s broader supply chain, accelerating decarbonization on a global scale.

Background of the MoU

As climate action becomes an increasingly urgent global priority, the maritime industry—responsible for approximately 3% of global CO2 emissions—faces mounting pressure to decarbonize. In response, PIL is advancing its transformation with a dual focus on decarbonization and digital innovation. As the largest shipping company from Southeast Asia, PIL operates a fleet of approximately 100 container vessels and manages a global network spanning over 500 locations in 90 countries. In addition to its core shipping operations, PIL is strengthening its commitment to sustainability by working to reduce environmental impact across its entire supply chain.

To support this effort, PIL has chosen to implement “ASUENE,” a cloud-based platform for measuring, reducing, and reporting CO2 emissions. The platform’s intuitive user interface, AI-powered data entry via OCR, and ability to visualize emissions across complex supply chains were key factors in the decision. This solution empowers PIL’s sustainability officers around the world to efficiently collect, manage, and analyze emissions data.

Given the complexity of the maritime industry—which encompasses a diverse range of stakeholders including ports, warehouse operators, and inland logistics providers—PIL is prioritizing the development of a robust system for centralized data management and effective emissions reduction.

Details of the MoU

Under this MoU, PIL will leverage Asuene’s expertise in GHG measurement, reporting, and verification to enhance the sustainability of its maritime transportation value chain. This initiative will begin with PIL’s own suppliers and service providers, and will include capacity building, sharing of best practices and affordable access to Asuene’s GHG measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) solution.
