PIL successfully handled intermodal service from India to Ethiopia

Share This News Story:

SINGAPORE : PIL successfully delivered 10 TEUs or five 40’ HC containers of cargo through its intermodal service of ship and trucks, from India to Ethiopia via Djibouti in East Africa.
 
It was all the more meaningful for PIL as the cargo was meant for humanitarian aid for the needy in Ethiopia. The total duration taken for the shipment to depart India and arrive at Ethiopia, inland at East Africa, was less than 35 days. The efficient delivery over sea and land through three destinations was powered by PIL’s Through Bill of Lading capability.
 
The cargo was first loaded at Nhava Sheva which departed on 13 March 2023. On 5 April 2023, the shipment arrived at Djibouti and they were loaded on trucks. Following customs clearance, the trucks with the containers departed from Djibouti and they eventually arrived at Addis Ababa in Ethiopia on 12 April 2023. 
 
PIL is happy to have contributed to transporting the much needed aid items in a timely manner to the people in Ethiopia, and it will continue to expand its network of intermodal services to meet the growing needs for efficient cross-border transportation.
