QUOTE OF THE MONTH

A Message From Our CEO
Dear Business Partners,
I would like to take the opportunity to wish you a Happy New Year!
We got off to a great start in 2022 - welcoming the largest trade
agreement signed - the RCEP. This will open up a new chapter for
regional economic and trade ties, opening up new market
opportunities as demand for logistics services rise.
This along with other completed and developing infrastructure
projects within the region such as the Laos-China railway and ASEAN
Highway Network Project will facilitate the seamless movement of
goods across the region. With our joint ventures in both Laos
(Sinotrans-PLG) and China (YPL Chongqing), PLG is well-positioned
to handle all your regional logistical needs.
In 2021, global supply chain disruptions did not deter Singapore from
maintaining its position as the world's busiest container
transhipment port and top bunkering port. Singapore's container
throughput reached a new high of 37.5 million 20-foot equivalent
units (TEUs) and achieved a total sales volume of about 50 million
tonnes for refuelling (only a second time in history)!
Although the disruptions will persist in 2022, PLG can help you
minimise such disruptions to your business. Our strong global
partnerships and strategic warehouse locations near both Changi
Airport and the upcoming Tuas Mega Port will be able to help you
facilitate quick turnarounds and expedite your shipments.
We look forward to 2022 and we believe that it will be a year filled
with exciting opportunities. Have a prosperous Lunar New Year!
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Kelvin Lim
Founder and CEO of Pacific Logistics Group

Local & Regional News
Penetrating Niche Markets In Eastern Europe
PLG was featured in Lianhe Zaobao as one of the four Singaporean companies
that entered the Eastern European market, including our joint venture with
YUXINOU to operate railway freight services connecting Europe and China.
With the Eastern European market differing largely from Singapore in terms of
culture, language and business environment, Mr Kelvin Lim, founder and
Group MD of Pacific Logistics Group, advised local companies looking to enter
into the market to find a suitable local partner.
Given the upcoming Belt and Road initiative, and that rail has been a viable
alternative amidst the disruptions faced by sea and air freight during the
Covid-19 pandemic, he is optimistic about the potential of rail freight. Should
popularity in rail freight continue to rise in Eastern Europe, PLG will consider
strengthening its capabilities in the market.
In addition, we are strengthening our Laos’ operations to build a complete
bridge of services between ASEAN and Europe, connecting Asia and the World.

Transforming In The Midst
Of The Pandemic
With the Covid-19 pandemic accelerating transformation, close to 14,000 local
enterprises received subsidies from the government to aid in their business activities.
PLG was one of the local enterprises and was featured in this Lianhe Zaobao article. We
utilised these subsidies to streamline our operational activities and for the exploration of
international opportunities.
We had to pivot and focus on expanding our other capabilities when Covid-19 hit,
improving our warehouse management capabilities and introducing end-to-end food
logistics services. With the unveiling of the China-Laos railway, we are strengthening our
capabilities in the region (particularly in Laos) to be a key logistics partner connecting
Europe, China and ASEAN.

donation drive.

WISHING YOU A
HAPPY
L U N A R
NEW YEAR
Chinese New Year is an annual 15-day event that
Chinese communities celebrate around the
world. It is sometimes referred to as the Lunar
New Year because the dates of the celebration
follow the phases of the moon.
PLG would like to wish you happiness and good
fortune this Chinese New Year!

Extending a Helping
Hand During Christmas
PLG organised a month-long internal mini food donation drive to gift food
to those in need. We worked closely with The Food Bank Singapore and
donated 540kg worth of rice, dried food, spreads, beverages and other food
products, with our drivers personally delivering these goods.
We hope that this small act of kindness will help to make a difference in the
lives of those around us.
