Collaboration builds on India success to cut costs, boost turnaround, and advance decarbonisation goals
Mumbai, September 1, 2025: MatchLog, the world’s largest container-reuse platform, has expanded its partnership with Pacific International Lines (PIL), one of Asia’s leading shipping companies, to scale container equipment optimisation in Singapore, one of the world’s busiest maritime hubs.
The collaboration aims to reduce inefficiencies in container logistics — particularly empty repositioning and under-utilised reuse cycles — by embedding MatchLog’s proprietary platform into PIL’s Singapore operations. The integration is expected to improve turnaround times, maximise asset utilisation, and cut carbon emissions from redundant movements.
At the heart of the initiative is MatchLog’s STinder engine, a container matchmaking solution that links import and export legs to enable reliable container reuse across ports, Street Turn Yards (MiSTY), and inland nodes. With rule-based allocation, API-enabled workflows, and real-time visibility, the platform converts underutilised moves into productive cycles. This results in a significant reduction in turnaround time — from 34 days to just 4 days — while also lowering freight costs, reducing empty runs, and enhancing schedule reliability.
“Singapore is the operating heartbeat of global shipping. Integrating MatchLog with PIL’s network here makes container reuse a repeatable, at-scale practice that cuts empty repositioning, improves schedule reliability and lowers the overall logistics cost, while advancing decarbonisation targets,” said Manish Singh, Co-Founder & Region Head, South East Asia, MatchLog.
He added, “Our goal is to help the industry get more from the boxes it already owns. By aligning data, rules and partners on a single platform with PIL in Singapore, we can raise equipment availability, improve fleet productivity, and deliver measurable sustainability outcomes that compound over time.”
This partnership represents a major step in modernising container logistics in Asia, setting a benchmark for smarter, greener, and more cost-efficient supply chains with global adoption potential.
