Founded in 1997, Mariana Express Lines (“MELL”) is a container liner 

operator headquartered in Singapore.  Focusing on niche routes in 

the Asia-Pacific region, MELL strives to provide shippers and 

consignees with services that have regular sailing schedules and 

quick transit times.  MELL is committed to offering customers a 

schedule integrity that differentiates herself from the competition.

Though MELL started with only two vessels plying the route of Hong 

Kong, Guam, Saipan and Taiwan, the Company has grown her 

network extensively over the years.  Using Hong Kong and 

Kaoshiung as hubs, MELL currently carries containers between 

China, Southeast Asia, Japan, Australia and islands in the Pacific.

MELL has also established the Company’s own dedicated shipping 

agencies in key ports of call to support her vessel operations and to 

provide ancillary logistics support.  Mariana Shipping, a wholly-

owned subsidiary of MELL, manages these agencies.

By providing fully-integrated logistics and containerized 

transportation services, MELL is well respected in the industry for 

her customer-centric, personalised approach and is dedicated to 

serving the local communities.

In March 2015, MELL became a subsidiary of Pacific International 

Lines (Private) Ltd (“PIL”). MELL’s capabilities complement PIL’s liner 

business and global network. This partnership enables both 

companies to synergise their activities whilst opening up new 

opportunities for all customers and stakeholders simultaneously.
