NEPTUNE Pacific Line (NPL) has acquired Pacific Direct Line (PDL) from its parent Pacific International Lines (PIL), to support its long-term vision to create the "strongest and best regional network of shipping and logistics services in the Pacific Islands".
The specialist in the Pacific islands trades is owned by Singapore's PIL. NPL is based in Sydney, as was founded in 1997 to serve Australia/New Zealand and Fiji, reports Colchester's Seatrade Maritime News.
"By acquiring PDL, we can further develop our mainline shipping network to provide fixed-day services and increase the utilisation of our combined fleet, enabling us to continue to offer competitive freight rates. PDL's extensive logistics network will allow us to support our customers across their entire supply chain needs," said Neptune managing director Rolf Rasmussen.
Said PIL managing director SS Teo: "The divestment of PDL is part of our strategic move that enables PIL to focus its resources on growing in the key liner markets that it operates in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and South America. We will continue to improve our liner services between Asia and Oceania including the South Pacific Islands."
