Pacific International Lines (PIL) has launched a new shipping service connecting Indonesia and Thailand, strengthening intra-Asia trade and enhancing regional supply chain connectivity. The new route is designed to provide customers with more frequent sailings, improved transit times, and reliable cargo transportation between two of Southeast Asia’s key manufacturing and trading economies.
The service will link major ports in Indonesia and Thailand, facilitating the movement of a wide range of cargo, including consumer goods, industrial products, automotive components, agricultural commodities, and refrigerated shipments. By offering direct connections, PIL aims to reduce transit times and improve the efficiency of regional logistics operations.
The new shipping link forms part of PIL’s strategy to expand its intra-Asia network and support the growing demand for regional trade driven by increasing manufacturing activity and supply chain diversification. The carrier continues to invest in service enhancements to provide customers with greater flexibility and dependable shipping solutions across Asia.
In addition to improving connectivity, the service is expected to strengthen multimodal logistics options by integrating with PIL’s wider regional and global shipping network. Customers will benefit from enhanced access to international markets through seamless connections to major trade routes serving China, India, the Middle East, and beyond.
Industry analysts believe the new Indonesia–Thailand service will support rising trade volumes within Southeast Asia while reinforcing PIL’s position in the regional container shipping market. As businesses increasingly diversify sourcing and production across ASEAN, expanded intra-Asia shipping services are expected to play a crucial role in improving supply chain resilience and supporting long-term economic growth in the region.
