Mariana Express Lines (MELL) Tracking

Mariana Express Lines (MELL) is a regional container shipping operator focused on serving island markets in the Western Pacific. The company is headquartered in Guam and operates as a subsidiary of Pacific International Lines (PIL), one of Asia’s long-established container shipping groups. Through this structure, MELL combines local operational focus with access to a wider international shipping network.

MELL’s core activity is providing regular liner services between Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) and selected ports in East and Southeast Asia. These routes play a critical role in supplying island economies with essential goods, construction materials, consumer products and refrigerated cargo, where maritime transport remains the primary logistics lifeline.

Unlike large global carriers that concentrate on high-volume intercontinental trades, Mariana Express Lines operates on short-sea and regional routes, typically using smaller container vessels adapted to limited port infrastructure and lower cargo volumes. This allows the company to maintain consistent schedules and port calls in locations that are often underserved by major liner networks. For example, MELL supports some of the most remote U.S.-affiliated island territories, making it a key contributor to regional supply chain stability.
